"Phonetically describe"[edit]
"To phonetically describe each letter of a word (i.e. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie)."—I find this dubious. I'm removing it, unless someone can provide a reference. —Mzajac 20:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
I've removed this definition from romanize (also romanise, see also romanization, romanisation): "to phonetically describe each letter of a word (i.e. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie)." Please restore if a reference can be found. —Mzajac 20:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- PS: when I was in the Canadian Forces many years ago, this was simply referred to as spelling out. In correct radio voice procedure it would be preceded by the phrase "I spell". —Mzajac 21:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
