The Phonetic Alphabet.
When communicating with other people - particularly over radio, telephone, etc - there
will be times when you may not be clear and your words may be misunderstood. Also,
when stating letters or spelling words out, some letters sound similar (eg. M and N)
and confusion may occur.
In order to avoid mistakes, each letter of the alphabet can be represented by a word
that makes it clear which letter you are saying. Below, is the accepted
international phonetic alphabet.
