    The radio words were chosen to be distinct, such that for people who trained in them, it would be easier to distinguish letters being spoken over low quality radio.

    Not very relevant in the era of 2G HD audio, and now VoLTE.
    But when there’s a bad signal and you have to tell someone a callsign, it makes sense.


    I like ISO, because in whatever cases I have interacted with it, it has made programming easier for me.

    I like YYYY-MM-DD, because when files lose their metadata, if they are named using this, I can still sort by name and get results by date.
