Also what do you mean phonetic alphabet official? There's only one - the one used in dictionaries and EFL teachers teach our students...?

That’s what I thought too and the official one that most people use is the NATO one, but I’ve noticed that some people swap out some of the words (M for Mother instead of Mike is the most common one) so I looked it up and apparently some people use old systems from the telegram days and also just make up their own words for whatever reason. No idea why Mike is so maligned by some 😄

Ahhh we're talking at Cross purposes! I thought you meant the phonetic script used in dictionaries to transcribe the pronunciation of the word! Like this ˈmædi for my name.

Highly entertaining! Like a laser beam into your brain. Love how eclectic your thoughts are, just like mine! I'm currently on an island off Dubrovnik so my googling has mostly been ferry times and the history of Croatia this week!

If you want to talk micro dosing - I'm here. I'm 18 months in.
