Hello everyone! We all have seen the drama Alpha Bravo Charlie but I get surprised when I hear that many people around haven’t heard of the Phonetic Alphabets. Here is another effort to organize our lives just a little bit more.
Whenever we are talking to someone on the phone and we need to tell them important details like our address, email address or pass-code, it is vital to get the exact details across without the fear of miscommunication.This is why Phonetical Alphabets came into being. It is very important for all of us to remember these like the back of our hands.
The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is a widely used radio-telephonic spelling alphabet. Critical combinations of letters and alphabets can be pronounced and understood by people who exchange voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of language barriers or the quality of communication channel. They can even be used in face-to-face conversations specially in noisy scenarios.
Ha – jalapeño lol, I like to drive people a little crazy sometimes , using – W as in wrap, K as in Knapsack, C as in czar and even A as in aisle and P as in psychic. I know, not very productive but it sure makes an otherwise mundane phone call a little fun! Wait, P like in phone! Lol
Great blog Nadiya. I keep this list on my desk handy always btw! With my add ons as well. ?
Hey thanks a lot tommy. Just discovered your comment and as usual, I’m happy to see your thoughtful words. I’m glad you use phonetics. 🙂
