There is an alphabet that is known by many, usually referred to as ‘the International Alphabet’ which is used by police forces, pilots, and so on and so forth. It is used so that no mistakes are made when information is passed from one person to another over radios, telephones, etc.

I think they are both fun!! I didn't realize that the top one was sort of "standardized" though!! I feel like I should try to learn it...
I use the International alphabet.:D
This would come in really handy when I have to spell something out over the phone. Normally I can't think of the right word and end up saying something daft.
'1DC'
'So that's 1BC'
'No 1DC. D for erm erm Donnie Darko and C for Carrot!'
Either one really but the international alphabet is one that I am more familiar with, not that I know them all
Thank you for the international Alphabet'. It will be beneficial to learn it.
I say so because I'm used to see only my native (Lithuanian) Alphabet around. Thus your post expanded my horizons. Hope my blog http://artbytomas.blogspot.com/ will become the international too one day.
I like making up my own. But, as far as the two choices you gave I like the first because it's the one the military uses.
