"Phonetically describe"
"To phonetically describe each letter of a word (i.e. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie)."—I find this dubious. I'm removing it, unless someone can provide a reference. —Mzajac 20:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

romanize
I've removed this definition from romanize (also romanise, see also romanization, romanisation): "to phonetically describe each letter of a word (i.e. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie)." Please restore if a reference can be found. —Mzajac 20:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * PS: when I was in the Canadian Forces many years ago, this was simply referred to as spelling out. In correct radio voice procedure it would be preceded by the phrase "I spell". —Mzajac 21:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
