Also, don't say "nine", use "niner" instead. It's clearer and classier.

Only poors do business over the phone. Ballers have personal assistants for that.

I prefer to use P as in pterodactyl or pneumatic



But most professional situations I've been in requiring specifics have defaulted to the NATO standard alphabet:

Alpha
Bravo
Charlie
Delta
Echo
Foxtrot...

It's ridiculous that phone mics and speakers, along with cellular data compression, are still so bad that we need to use that system.

What kind of asinine phonetic alphabet is that? Are you some Indian in a call center in Bangalore?

If I say "K as in know", you've got to be a dumb MF to not understand what letter I'm implying.

I get most of that list, but do they really suggest pronouncing 3 as "TREE", 4 as "FOW-ER", 5 as "FIFE", and 9 as "NINER"?

ETA: Are the traditional pronunciations really that ambiguous?
