WHAT IS A PHONETIC ALPHABET?
• A spelling alphabet, voice procedure alphabet, radio alphabet, or telephone alphabet is a set of words used to stand for the letters of an alphabet in oral communication.
• Each word in the spelling alphabet typically replaces the name of the letter with which it starts.
• It is used to spell out words when speaking to someone not able to see the speaker, or when the audio channel is not clear.

Gets everything right except for 9 Says nine. In the military alphabet, it's pronounced "niner" to differentiate from 5.

Thanks for your review. Your remark on the 9 makes a lot of sense. I'll try to fix it in an upcoming release.
