The term phonetic is correct. The phonetic alphabet was created by NATO in the 50s.

Yes, the term phoenetic is actually incorrect, I do agree. Since I've memorized the entire ITU alphabet (which is what that system is--I forget what ITU itself stands for--some organization that came up with the system, that much I know) and most people don't understand it anyway. They laugh when I use it because it's not really that well-known outside ham circles or people like me, who memorized it for one reason or another. Comes in handy though regardless of people's reaction. :) Mark----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: "JFW List" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 2:32 PM Subject: Re: Jaws speech voiceHi guys,I don't think you'd call "phonetic" what you get by pressing num pad 5 (no insert key needed; that would read the whole word the cursor's on) twice. Sofar as I'm aware, it's just something like a military or nautical thingwhere each letter is attached to a common word to make it clear in case of ahazy radio signal or the like. Lima, India, kilo, echo, for instance.that's a big 10-4, I say to myself, switching to CB mode.
