I was getting angry reading this.
Calm down, Mancy.
We’re still doing “phrasing”!
I started off nonplussed but by the time I got to the end I was mildly amused.

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.

If Q as in Queue bothers you, you better check what C stands for.
Same for D. And Y. And W.

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.

As someone who had to learn the actual NATO alphabet, if I look too hard at this, I'm likely to give myself a stroke.
This is diabolical. Thanks, I hate it.
I made this phonetic alphabet for the information age
information age
How many of these characters predate it by several decades?

I just realized the irony in "Phonetic Alphabet" phonetically starting with the "F" sound
They really phoned it in when naming it.

This makes me irrationally angry. Well done!
W for why and Y for you is delightful
Don't forget the Double-U for the letter D. It's an absolute mess.
C for cue and Q for queue! Evil genius.
Why Tsunami Four
Because Tsunami Three already happened and Tsunami Five hasn't happened yet
P pneumonia G gnu K knees
I used to do this all the time when I worked at a call center.

Should have made I : Isle
Counterpoint: isle starts with the expected I sound so it’s 50/50 odds of getting I correct with aisle/isle. E being Eye and I being Ian (Ee-an) is actually more disruptive.
posted before, but this is still my go-to:
I helped design the original, always funny to see it out in the wild. Also llama would've been a better option for lima.
