I prefer the abbreviated radio spelling alphabet.
A -> alph -> alphty, B -> brav -> bravty, C -> charl -> charlty, D -> delt -> delty, E -> echo -> echty, F -> fox -> foxty
0x1DE,ADB,EEF is "one hundred delty-echo million, alph hundred delty-beta thousand, echo hundred and echty-fox".
- webnrrd2k 12y agoThanks -- I like this, and I've never heard the -ty ending before. But just a nit on my part: "and" is usually meant to signify a decimal point, so I think the ending should read "echo hundred echty-fox".
- vesinisa 11y ago> the ending should read "echo hundred echty-fox". You can write it either way - it's like potato and potato, harbour and harbor. I was schooled to never omit the 'and'.
