Phonetic Alphabet - Phonetics of the English language
The Phonetic Alphabet is used to spell letters in place of just saying the letter, number, special character, itself. By using a word for each one of these characters, there is less chance that the person listening will confuse letters, numbers, and/or special characters. For instance, some letters that can easily be confused are "b" and "e" and as for numbers, "9" and "5" sometimes get confused. The phonetic alphabet is used in radio communications around the world by maritime units, aircraft, amateur radio operators, the military, and by all employees within Kevin Crothers/WorldCom's Corporate Systems department. Phonetic Alphabet
Note: The syllables printed in capital letters are to be stressed. How it is used? Aviation: The letters on aircraft tail numbers are spelled phonetically. For instance, when calling the tower, aircraft with tail number "2304J" would be pronounced "2304 Juliett". Also the Airport Terminal Information Service (ATIS) assigns sequential letters to the broadcasts since these are frequently updated such as "Information Kilo". Amateur Radio: Call signs are routinely spelled using phonetics for instance the call sign AK8Y would be "Alpha Kilo 8 Yankee". Military: When sending information that contains letter or names that need to be spelled, the phonetic alphabet is used. Digital Communications: What I've found is most important for using Phonetics in this modern world, is when telling someone a URL, or username/password pair, an API key, a token, or really most importantly an IP configuration or netblock.
