Strong agree with the phonetic alphabet one. Although the official one has been ruined for me ever since a man with the strongest Scottish accent I’ve ever heard said ‘Quebec’ on a phone call, and it sounded like ‘Kibik’ and I just could not understand what letter he was trying to get me to hear 😂

You’re actually supposed to say kee-beck, pronouncing the qu as a “k” rather than “kw”!
