I have heard of it and know most of it and use some of it when spelling things, but it varies. I'd use it if I could remember the letters, but there are some I always forget.

Okay. :)

There are some letters I have trouble with too - P for Papa, for instance.

I know of it and even know quite a few of the "letters", but it's not like I have it memorized. *shrug*

That's okay. I'm learning that I have an unusual expectation of it. :)

I've heard of it and I do attempt to use it when I've got to spell things over the phone like postcodes but sometimes I can't remember what is the proper word for each letter so I just say another word that begins with that letter.

If you even attempt to use it, it makes me happy! Yay!

I have heard of it, but mostly in movies. I have never ever used it or thought to use it, even.

This is what one of my other friends said. I wonder if it's due to my family background (lots of pilots, a few army and police) that I consider it pretty normal...

I've heard my mum use it when she spells stuff out for people on the phone, but I tend to use the first word beginning with that letter that pops into my head. ^^

I like your mum! :D

(But you're awesome too. :P)

[myrimidryad]

I'm flattered. ;)
