From the Rob Words YouTube channel. Here’s the video description:
Let’s uncover the secrets of the NATO phonetic alphabet! 🌏 [ad redacted]
The NATO phonetic alphabet is not a phonetic alphabet and wasn’t invented by NATO. However, it has a fascinating story to tell. It is the result of years of linguistic experimentation in the wake of the violence of World War II. So let’s explore its development, from ALFA to ZULU.
In this episode, we’ll uncover the surprising story of how this alphabet – used by everyone from pilots to police officers – came to be. And look at the strange words that almost made the cut.

yeah I couldnt watch that, it kept stopping to show ads inserted into the video and after one stopped, a permanent overlay ad hovered in the bottom left hand side of the video and would not go away.
Firefox + unblock origin
Or just mullvad browser
ok i finally installed unblock origin… i still dont wanna watch that jackass’ video though, very punchable and self important fellow.
the ad at the beginning of the video still was there… would you mind telling me your experience of using UO?
I was going to move on, but you called him a jackass and I’m wondering why? The “very punchable” part also feels unnecessary.
thats like, just my opinion, man
I know, Lemmy is very keen on playing morality police instead of minding their own business
I’ve watched plenty of Robwords videos and I have not gotten the impression he was a “jackass”, let alone deserved to be punched in the face. Maybe it was down to the way that sentence was worded that comes across differently to me than intended.
It’s also an opinion expressed in an online forum on the internet that is accessible to everyone. So, it’s open for other people to express their opinion on others’ opinions.
it’s open for other people to express their opinion on others’ opinions.
Sure.
It can come across as policing, though, if you read something like that enough times
Alfa?
Really?I just learned a day or two ago that that’s the correct way? Because non-native speakers have problems with ph?
I only know Alpha.
Alpha (animal)
Alphabet
Alpha goal (from almost every game about CTF)For me in my language it is Alfa (the Greek letter) Alfabet (the alphabet) and Alfa-mannetje (you :P)
