Nato Phonetic Alphabet
I just went off the phone with my ISP’s customer service. My internet connection was down. I don’t know why but their server didn’t recognize my MAC address anymore. So we had a funny conversation:
Customer Service: Please tell me your MAC address
Me: 00 BA
Customer Service: 00 DA ?
Me: No ! 00 BA
... and so on ...
This is why memorizing the NATO phonetic alphabet is needed to better communicate fragile sounds.

Hopefully you won’t spend 15 minute telling a MAC address like me 🙂
