A confusing alphabet

People like this, really, have a huge part of my heart.

emphasisadded:

I usually use “B as in Beyonce” and “S as in Sondheim” when doing phone-spellings

but this is way better…

and made me laugh.  Hard.

elle-oh-elle:

I work right next to my company’s account coordinators, who spell a lot of things on the phone for our clients. I decided to make them all an alphabet they can use to confuse [customers]. Here it is.
  • A as in Aisle
  • B as in Bdellium
  • C as in Czar
  • D as in Djembe
  • E as in Eureka
  • F as in Phone
  • G as in Gnaw
  • H as in Heir
  • I as in Isle
  • J as in Jicama
  • K as in Knead
  • L as in Llorca
  • M as in Mnemonic
  • N as in Mnemonic
  • O as in Ouija
  • P as in Pneumatic
  • Q as in Qat
  • R as in Right
  • S as in See
  • T as in Tzar
  • U as in Umami
  • V as in Venti
  • W as in Write
  • X as in Xyst
  • Y as in You
  • Z as in Dr. Zhivago

I’m fairly confident no one will ever use this.
