I was getting angry reading this.
Calm down, Mancy.
We’re still doing “phrasing”!
I started off nonplussed but by the time I got to the end I was mildly amused.

After having to learn these for work years ago, my life got a lot easier. Bad phone call? Phonetics, precise radio comms.? Phonetics. Just works, should be taught in every school.

If Q as in Queue bothers you, you better check what C stands for.
Same for D. And Y. And W.

As someone who had to learn the actual NATO alphabet, if I look too hard at this, I'm likely to give myself a stroke.
This is diabolical. Thanks, I hate it.

I just realized the irony in "Phonetic Alphabet" phonetically starting with the "F" sound
They really phoned it in when naming it.

How many of these characters predate it by several decades?

W for why and Y for you is delightful
Don't forget the Double-U for the letter D. It's an absolute mess.
C for cue and Q for queue! Evil genius.
This makes me irrationally angry. Well done!
Didn't know Englishers skipped the T in tsunami
Most of them do, yeah. You may hear a bit of a “tongue click” or something with others first before the “s”. A lot of first-language English speakers seem to really struggle when they see two consonants together that they haven’t previously encountered.

Why Tsunami Four
Because Tsunami Three already happened and Tsunami Five hasn't happened yet

posted before, but this is still my go-to:
Should have made I : Isle
Counterpoint: isle starts with the expected I sound so it’s 50/50 odds of getting I correct with aisle/isle. E being Eye and I being Ian (Ee-an) is actually more disruptive.
P pneumonia G gnu K knees
I used to do this all the time when I worked at a call center.
