A brand new alphabet was introduced to tech group one today. It is called the NATO phonetic Alphabet. It is used regardless of your native language, or your accent. You use it on boats, you use it in the army, in the police force. mainly to avoid confusion of same-sounding words and letters. For example b and d sound similar over a radio or telephone along with m and n.
Imagine if in a war someone mistook m for n in a code. Game over.
Here is a list of the words used in the NATO phonic Alphabet

Wow, very different and interesting language,
ReplyDeleteWhat tech are you doing at the moment?
Why did you get taught this new language?
Do you know anything about who invented this language?
I wonder why teachers don't say anything about this language in class,
Do you know what the words would mean to the people who use it?
