So, the next time you find yourself on the phone, trying to rattle off a string of letters to someone, feel free to use the method below instead of A for Apple. The Phoenetic Alphabet has been in use since 1913 and although a few letters have changed since then, they still remain the standard for communicating the alphabet over phone or radio.

Phoenetic Alphabet
I've been working in the aviation field since 1996, so by now I should know the Phoenetic Alphabet by heart. The thing is, I've always been sort of ... rusty. I always forget J (Juliett), M (Mike) and I (India.) I always remember W (Whiskey), G (Golf - how easy is that!) and others. Q (Quebec) is also hard to remember.
