The phonetic alphabet was developed to overcome the difficulty of transmitting information by means of electronic communication where voice quality was very poor. By using highly dissimilar sounding words to indicate letters, it is simple to distinguish between them. For example, whilst it is difficult to distinguish a spoken f from an s, it is impossible to confuse the words foxtrot and sierra even under very poor conditions.
In the early years of radio, different countries developed their own versions of the phonetic alphabet, then as the world opened up, an international system was adopted which is now in use across most of the globe. It is shown below alongside earlier methods which were developed by the British and American military.

Public Computers Made Safe
This is important! I was in Dubai in April and used a public computer. Scary stuff, as I did various things on the public computer, updating my blog, logging in to Google etc. So when I got home I changed the passwords. Better yet, use one of these solutions. I’ll be trying something out.
