What is all this alpha dot hotel, etc. stuff? I see it else where and
cannot figure it out. Must be a code obviously.

It's the international phonic alphabet - never had to spell out a name
or address by phone and had it mistranscribed

For airplanes in the States, it used to be: able baker charlie, etc.


But I'm not in the States, so I used the International one - oh, and we
have aeroplanes here, in any case
