[Although commonly known as the 'NATO phonetic alphabet' and for 'military use', it's really a 'spelling alphabet' invented by the ICAO for flight communications and with pronunciation improvements formalized by NATO.]

[Alfa and Juliett are spelled unconventionally to minimize oral misreadings in other languages.]

[Quebec is uncoincidentally on the list because the primary researcher was based in Montreal.]
