I'm all about that NATO phonetic alphabet - which for some reason rubs certain people answering phones the wrong way.

Can't say I don't have a couple substitutions, though (Zebra instead of Zulu, Sam instead of Sierra, Frank instead of Foxtrot), but it's not like I'm working the radio of an aircraft or something.

I once said Sierra and the guy wrote the letter C, because apparently he might be a physicist, but he was also an idiot

TBH "Sierra" is a pretty obscure word. I didn't know about it until the Mac OS release with that name. And given how often "c" makes an "s" sound, that sounds like a reasonable mistake to make if you've never heard the word before.
