How does one misspell a word when using a voice mode?

The messages would have a certain number of proper names and place
names that would be uncommon enough to require phonetics.

If nonstandard procedure or phonetics are
used, each deviation is a mistake.

Is it really too much to ask that 'phone operators learn and be able
to use 26 standard words for a test, even if they don't absolutely
have to use them on the air?

oh wait - somebody asked that question about the 43 morse code
symbols...
