My last name has a z in it and I had a customer service person say "z as in xylophone?"
I was frustrated with the phone support agent and used ‘S, as in Stupid’ and I got hung up on.

Drag tries to talk NATO to the call center people and they don't understand
I wish NATO phonetic was more commonly understood.
The brilliance is that it works in other languages too. Don't know about French/Italian but for a Norwegian it's usable. Only Charlie, Mike, and Yankee i think would not be understood if said as spelled in Norwegian.

Always been a petty pet peeve of mine. When I was training customer service reps I'd hand out a sheet and suggest they nail it up in their cube.
So much easier when everyone's on the same page. The military uses the phonetic alphabet because it's crystal clear, even over sketchy coms.
Why would you make up some bullshit of your own, having to constantly stop and think about it, when the pros already have a working system?! FFS, you don't even have to make the effort to memorize it, just use it a few times, done, it's in your head forever. Now I'm getting mad. (Told you I was petty about this.)
Anyone know why they use "niner"? Doesn't seem to mix up with other numbers.
EDIT: That's 2 band names I came out with today.

Niner is because it's the NATO phonetic alphabet, and they don't want it to get mixed up with nein.
