Phonetic Alphabet

海外ドラマシリーズである24 -Twenty Four-を見ながらずっと気になっていて、結局最近まで調べなかったことがある。

よくシーンの一部に出てくるのだが、ChloeにJackが何かパスワードや認証IDを伝えるときに”Charlie, Bravo, 1, 3, Delta”等、DとEを発音し分け、相手に確実なスペリングやコードを伝えるために簡単な単語を用いることが多い。

何か海軍とかジャックが属していた軍隊での決まりでもあるんだろうか、今度調べようと思って結局放置していたが、電話対応等で意外と使うことがあるので、調べてみた。

どうやら何個か方式があるらしく、劇中のセリフから判断するに、下記のNATO Phonetic Alphabet方式だと思われる。

アメリカや英語圏のコールセンターではカスタマーのスペリングを確実に表記するために下記のような表現をするのだという。

暇なときにでも覚えてみようか。

Thanks for reading!

Welcome!!!!! [Goal Statement]

Thanks for visiting this blog!!
I am Maeda the manager, the owner, and also the writer of this blog.
A role of a BLOG has changed dramatically since the births of miracle services called "twitter", "facebook" . As you know, this service makes it possible for the users to tweet back and forth information at real time speed. Facebook enables users to share information and collaborate with beautiful user interface, and need not to say, the largest SNS web service over a billion people use.
Now, what does a BLOG do?
Nonetheless, the services above has different goals, different meanings, but carrying information at a fast speed is what they have in common.
The ultimate goal of this blog is to show and answer the question above in this BLOG by providing users useful information, and knowledge or frameworks.
Maybe it's not as real timed as twitter, maybe it's not as interactive as facebook, maybe not as deep as a book, but that's where the BLOG should be.
What's the first thing a person does when they have some problems, questions, doubts?
Yes, they ask Prof. Google.
At an unique position as a gate and primary answers that users need, BLOGs are the few media that can be there.

Thanks,
Maeda
