I mean the verb for speaking audibly over a crappy phone or radio connection. "Sorry I cannot hear if you are saying "F" or "S" would you please ----?"

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.

Phoneticize? ..as in, 'can you please phoneticize that last word?' (spell checker disagrees) :sigh:

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

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'
