The word “phonetically” doesn’t even start with an “f”. Shit like this is exactly why aliens fly straight past us.

Did you ever come across that phonetic alphabet, designed to confuse the enemy. Instead of "alpha" it used "Aesop", Bravo was Bdellium, etc

Charlie became "cue", Delta became "djin", Echo became "eunuch", etc. I wish I could remember it all.
@Petter why?
@FrayedBear Because I've got a crap memory.
Or did yuo want the explanation of why this phonetic alphabet was invented?
It was designed to confuse the enemy. Imagine a Russian speaker trying to intercept a message and correctly write down Cue, Why, Eye, etc. It was a fun code we sometimes used in the army when not on serious military business.
@Petter Sounds like cold war paranoia brought on by guilt.
And now incipient old timer's.
