The NATO phonetic alphabet

HeyStudentsBears's avatar

TIL (doing the NYT crossword) that the first word associated with A is alfa!!

what is alfa? a crappy way to spell alpha??!!

everything else on the list seems ok to me. maybe Juliett w/ two t's is a little strange.

My dad was big on Ironside (starring the late, great Raymond Burr).

I loved the Rockford Files because of the theme song.

There were a lot of great actors in that show. Denzel Washington for starters.
