So I've decided to try and learn the police and military version of the ABC's. You know... Alpha, Bravo, something, something...
I've used my own little variants for years, but they always sound really weird or dumb. "Umm... the record locator is Xylaphone, Cucumber, Door, Celery." is a summarization of how bad I can be with this stuff.
So, for the record, here's the semi-official alphabet.
Alpha
Bravo
Charlie
Delta
Echo
Foxtrot
Golf
Hotel
India
Juliet
Kilo
Lima
Mike
Novemner
Oscar
Papa
Quebec
Romeo
Sierra
Tango
Uniform
Victor
Whiskey
X-Ray
Yankee
Zulu
So far I have problems remembering Golf, Hotel, Juliet, November, Oscar, Quebec, Sierra, and Whiskey. Others tend to fade in and out, too, but these are the ones that I'll remember, then forget, look up and remember, then forget again.
I know this is pretty much useless, but I still want to learn it.
