P is for plutocracy. Important to learn about and recognize, wtf-does-this-have-to-do-with-a-planet-no-longer-a-planet complicated enough to fit right in

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 in your list

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.

Many of these are two distinct syllables, so even if you get a broken transmission, it’s still intelligible.

How many of these characters predate it by several decades?

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.

I helped design the original, always funny to see it out in the wild. Also llama would’ve been a better option for lima.

I is for “imagine”
M is for “me”
A is for the letter “a”
G is for “gee!”
I is for…“imagine”
N is for “nice”
E is for “Egad!”
I said “imagine” twice!

Should have made I : Isle
deranger@sh.itjust.works 7 hours ago
Counterpoint: isle starts with the expected I sound so it’s 50/50. E being Eye and I being Ian (Ee-an) is actually more disruptive.

N for night
L for llama
psycotica0@lemmy.ca 6 hours ago
“Nevermind” or “Next” would be pretty good.
L could maybe be “Lagos” because there’s two cities named that and they’re pronounced differently?
marcos@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Llama
No idea for Nine, though.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Nine is evil because it’s a valid character. When you are using a phonetic alphabet, you don’t say “N as in Nine”. The whole point is to speed up communication over crappy connections. Adding “as in” afterwards defeats the purpose of having a standard.
As for L, I would go with “Letter”.
cattywampas@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
