      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.
