    Sorry to disappoint Slytovhand, but some of us down here in Australasia DO use the NATO phonetic alphabet. We're quite aware of what NATO stands for, thank you, but our interactions with British and US groups do tend to work better when everyone's speaking the same standard, so yes, at least here in NZ, we use NATO even though that particular ocean is some distance away.

      *starts singing* A...B...C...D......W...T....F?

      Sorry.XD

      Seriously, the alphabet's not that hard. Phonetics aren't that hard either. But apparently putting the two together causes a brain meltdown.
      Exactly, but I got something that'll refresh their memories...and then some.

        The biggest problem I've run into is no one knows what Foxtrot is.

        "F as in Foxtrot"
        "Uh... S?"

          Beats my usual quick-reaction word...

          "F for Funny?"

          What, as opposed to S for Sunny? Doesn't really help.

            One-Fang... all sad now I'm disappointed

            Anyway, I was more meaning about the term "NATO" (rather than using any other term), not the actual phonetic itself. Cos it's the one I use...

              Try Falcon. It seems to work for me when calling in a serial number for work, but I work with phone reps who are on the ball.
