NATO Standard Phonetic Alphabet,

The phonetic alphabet was developed as a way to spell things out over radio communications that may be less then ideal, I.E. a lot of static or weak signal. All the words were chosen because they have a distinct sound that is easy to pick out. Military and police communications use the phonetic alphabet heavily and can be helpful to know for talking over CB’s or FRS (walky talky) radios.

I’m sorry guys, i had to

I cannot fucking believe it is the yEAR 2017 GOD DAMMIT

The worst part is, I knew exactly what that was going to be before I read it

And I still read it

The NATO Alphabet should be required for anyone whose job involves talking on the phone. Nothing drives me crazier than customer service reps doing the “A as in apple, B as in Bob” thing (often choosing words that ARE NOT THAT PHONETICALLY DIFFERENT THAN OTHER WORDS)

Thompson with a P, as in psychologist.
