And I assumed A was for the highest mark in school (when evaluating something). In some cases I remember it did make sence, but thanks for telling me about it’s origins.

Offtop, but now I’m thinking if all these college clubs in the movies were called in latin words because of the military too, with their Alpha-Bravo-Delta correction of hearing\spelling errors over the radio.

Your examples are fun too, and SOS sounds like an emergency dose of callories with minimal decorations when one’s too exhausted (:

P.S.: It’s not unusual to know only one single language. Weirdly enough, that’s shared between the US and Russia due to their huge territory most people never leave and a lot of folks being offended by hearing other languages spoken around them, like MAGA or vatniks. I’ve got lucky my parents invested some skillpoints into languages years ago, so I can talk to you, and you’ve been dealt a slightly worse hand in that department. No shame here. A lot of my dearest and wisest friends can’t read memes I send them even in kindergarden English so, at least, you dodge this regular frustration (:
