                    I always have trouble with this spelling because it looks like it means, "of or pertaining to a telephone."

                                      Best source of information to learn English spelling (and pronounciation): English is tough stuff[^] You can find this "poem" countless places on the internet; the link above was the top entry from googling "english is tough stuff". Lots of places claim that the text was developed at the NATO headquarters, but it is far older, written by Gerard Nolst Trenité and first published in 1920.
