Anyone can listen and understand when a person spells "Q U E U E", even if they don't speak English, so long as they share a common (spoken) language. Not so with "列"
- marcus_holmes 3y agoWait, so anyone can understand written English even if they don't speak English? So if I type in German you can understand it even if you don't speak German? Wie funktioniert das?
- HPsquared 3y agoPeople can spell out words in a language they don't understand, as long as they understand the letters. This is good for names. People can only do this if they understand the letters.
- marcus_holmes 3y agoHow do you pronounce "Mebd"? Can you work out how to pronounce that name from how it's spelled? Or "Siobhan"? Your statement isn't even remotely true.
- shiroiuma 3y agoThey don't have to pronounce those: they can just spell out the letters: M-E-B-D. It's not that hard. But if the customer's name is "坂本", how exactly is the bank employee supposed to say that?
