Ah phonetics

The ARRL and many other national entities recommend the NATO phonetics
for Amateur Radio use as most Hams around the world recognize them.

The best one was printed in a magazine at some point. It was using
words that would always add to the confusion. I can't remember specific
examples, but it would have been like xylophone and psychiatrist.

Of course, it was intended to be funny (it was), and was not intended
to be used on the air (though I wouldn't put it past someone).
