@mossmann@mastodon.social at first I thought, no that's not right. But I realized that my pronunciation of Romeo is different between the car brand and the NATO alphabet (as in RoMeo for the car, and RomEo for the alphabet) which confused me massively.
Also fun, is NATO have a quiz on their website, https://www.nato.int/en/about-us/nato-history/history-by-theme/symbols-of-nato/nato-phonetic-alphabet. I got 25/26 right, try and guess which one I failed if you go through the quiz yourself :)

@tiraniddo@infosec.exchange @mossmann@mastodon.social @vk6flab@mastodon.radio it’s whisky, surely! Can’t believe the spelling with an ‘e’ is correct!!😖

@tiraniddo@infosec.exchange @mossmann@mastodon.social were they running out of alternative words when they just spelt that differently?
