| 595262 | 2007-09-26 10:23:00 | Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows what the name of the convention is for confirming the spelling of words over the phone for hotel receptionists and the like. I.e. A Apple, C China... etc. Is there a recognized set of words for this sort of use? Hope ya'll get my drift....:stare: :help: Thanks :) |
