The spelling is actually also important for non-english speakers.
Alpha is hard to pronounce if you aren't familiar with English ph, so it should be an F.
Juliet should have two T's to ensure romance language speakers pronounce the T.
I used to work for phone support. First day when I thought I can use the alphabet like pro, then granny and auntie callers complained they don't know that military shit.
I have always pronounced Quebec like "kebek." Many US callers didn't understand it until it's like "cuebek". So I started pronouncing like so. Many US callers didn't understand it until it's "kebek".
Fuck this shit.
After having to learn these for work years ago, my life got a lot easier. Bad phone call? Phonetics, precise radio comms.? Phonetics. Just works, should be taught in every school.
I find myself on the phone trying to spell something and come up with words that begin with each letter. Agreed that it’s a solved problem and everyone should just learn it.
I taught myself by playing a license plate game, referring to the cars around me by their phonetic license plates "what're you doing bravo whiskey foxtrot foxtrot? You're turning right but indicating left!" It makes road rage more fun.
The made up shit is so much more fun tho
Its cute that romeo and juliet live forever in the phonetic alphabet like this
It sure is!
If Q as in Queue bothers you, you better check what C stands for.
Same for D. And Y. And W.
C is especially bad because Cue pronounced the same as Queue (if my English isn't too bad). The others are at least consisted once you accepted the absurdity. Also you forgot S and E in your list
I was on a call earlier with a business and they said S as in Sam. I wanted to correct them, but I thought it wasn't worth it.
m as in mancy n as in bike.
