I’ve been helping out a friend of the family, doing some temp clerical work, for the past few weeks at an insurance agency. Whenever people call in and want a quote or something, I find it really hard to think of unique words that will clarify which letter we are talking about. It’s especially a problem when they give me VIN numbers for their cars.

So today I googled “alpha bravo charlie” and found a couple of useful and fun sites. First was  a simply laid-out chart of both the NATO (military) and Western Union phonetic alphabets. And at the bottom of that was a link to another nifty site, called Phoneticise.com, which will take any text you enter and phoneticise it for you!

Just thought I’d share.
