From the Rob Words YouTube channel. Here’s the video description:

Let’s uncover the secrets of the NATO phonetic alphabet! 🌏 [ad redacted]

The NATO phonetic alphabet is not a phonetic alphabet and wasn’t invented by NATO. However, it has a fascinating story to tell. It is the result of years of linguistic experimentation in the wake of the violence of World War II. So let’s explore its development, from ALFA to ZULU.

In this episode, we’ll uncover the surprising story of how this alphabet – used by everyone from pilots to police officers – came to be. And look at the strange words that almost made the cut.

    yeah I couldnt watch that, it kept stopping to show ads inserted into the video and after one stopped, a permanent overlay ad hovered in the bottom left hand side of the video and would not go away.
