The verb depends on what you're using it for (spelling, reciting, memorising etc.) You could then combine said verb with an adverb such as phonetically or acrophonically (e.g. "He spelled out the word acrophonically") but that wouldn't necessarily point to the NATO alphabet without further qualification.

Idioting is when you deliberately misunderstand a question.

I thought that willfully misunderstaning was ElizabethBenneting... (I forgot the joke question. And yes, I am skilled in idioting... a Master Idiot, I think).

I think I'd just ask them to spell it phonetically or just prompt them with "Is that F for foxtrot, S for sierra?" If there is a specific word for it - and I doubt that there is - it would be so obscure that they wouldn't recognise it over a crackly 'phone line.

What verb describes the act of using the phonetic alphabet? (ie: Alpha, Romeo, Foxtrot etc) Thanks [EDIT: Ooops seems like I misposted, should've been the Lounge :|]

If there were, very few people would know what you mean when you say it. :sigh:

There is none; and you'd have to specify which phonetic alphabet, as there are multiple in use. As a programmer I never learned the "proper" words that go with each letter (except Utrecht), so I keep making new words up on the spot. CodeProject.

Most probably the verb like 'spell' or 'pronounce' Still when working on a few morphology related papers with jetwriters I've seen a couple of times phrases like 'use a phonetic alphabet' So far I haven't seen any other collocations used with the word 'alphabet'
