I’ve created my own over the phone letter to word substitution list. It’s simple, non-ambiguous, easy to spell. I was achieving following design goals:
– no acronyms
– short words
– common computing-related words
– no similar sounding in words
– less brand names is better
– less syllables is better
– fist letter of the word should sound in accordance to standalone alphabet letter
– i-e; c-s; v-w; j-g; m-n sounding confusion should be avoided
