I never say letters on the phone any more, it's always juliet lima mike november etc, comes from having a CID detective for a dad (and geekily memorising the alphabet so i can impress people  )

Tried working in an IT department, trying to explain serial codes to a dude in Bangladesh? You HAVE to know the phonetic alphabet. And It aint geeky. Lol _________________ I make full use of this action, while at x404.

...You run an OS other than Windows.
...You write "Micro$oft", "M$" or "Windoze" instead of their proper names.
...Sometimes, you prefer the Command Line to using the GUI.

My Dad does it all the time, as a hangover from his radio officer days. I just make it up on the spot to annoy him.

Some people think it's Apple Sugar Freddy and that you have to say S for sugar, like in primary school I get a warm glow inside knowing the real phonetic alphabet, i think it's this smug pride in useless facts that sets me apart as a geek, rather than the knowledge itself.
