What the fvck is WTF!?!?!


Anyways, it uses that code word system for saying letters unambiguously. Like how A = Alpha, B = Bravo, C = Charlie... F = Foxtrot, T = Tango, W = Whisky

Whisky Tango Foxtrot = WTF

The phoenetic alphabet may differ from organization to organization, but i think in most organizations (military, especially), "G" is "Golf", as in the sport.

Chraticn, the phoenetic alphabet is used when you're spelling letters-- especially ones that sound the same. So, for example, if i want to spell "MNM", i would say "Mike, November, Mike." That's a lot clearer than trying to say "EM-EN-EM."

Ahh, well that explains it. Strange that they would have two different phoenetic alphabets with only one really minor change, though. The military uses some combination of the two, where we use "Golf" but spell "a" as "alpha." I guess "alfa" doesnt look as cool...
