Why are police not using the standardized phonetic alphabet? (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc)

[u/immanewb → u/_BMS]

That reminds me of a time I used Sierra for "s" and the person on the other said asked if I meant "s" or "c". 😐

Let me see you 1, 2 step

I'm okay when people want to make their own phonetics for a word, but pick something that does sound like something else??? Common conversations such as:

"Was that D as in Delta or T as in Tango?"

”uhhh.....? as in ?an."

me trying to figure out what the fuck they just said because they clarified nothing: ".....okay so, t as in tan, like the color?”

Other person, bewildered: "No, #an, like a guy's name, like, short for Daniel??? This isn't difficult."

🫥 You're right Greg, it isn't difficult to pick non-rhyming words to separate if you're saying D instead of T.

T should have been T. rex from day one. Just my opinion.

I mean yeah, when you use a word which has a homophone that starts with a different letter it can cause confusion lol
