Although he tries had, in kindergarten he struggles to learn his letters. Too many look too similar and again he thinks it is something he cannot do. He learns enough to get by an is able to spell his own name, but his friend learns all the letters. In the next grade Adam feels even further behind as others learn to read. He stops trying and just puts his head down in class. In second grade Adam gets a summer tutor. He still mixes up his words and letters. From 1948 to 1949, Jean-Paul Vinay, a professor of linguistics at the Université de Montréal worked closely with the ICAO to research and develop a new spelling alphabet. [30] [12] The directions of ICAO were that "To be considered, a word must: Below is a list of important procedural words, known as “Prowords,” that play important roles in radio communication. You will need to know what these mean, and how they stand-in for and abbreviate longer messages. Important note: avoid using the word repeat. Transmissions are often interrupted or broken up, so it becomes unclear whether you are repeating a transmission or requesting a transmission be repeated. Proword During World War II, the U.S. military conducted significant research into spelling alphabets. Major F. D. Handy, directorate of Communications in the Army Air Force (and a member of the working committee of the Combined Communications Board), enlisted the help of Harvard University's Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory, asking them to determine the most successful word for each letter when using "military interphones in the intense noise encountered in modern warfare.". He included lists from the US, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, British Army, AT&T, Western Union, RCA Communications, and that of the International Telecommunications Convention. According to a report on the subject: Have a similar spelling in at least English, French, and Spanish, and the initial letter must be the letter the word identifies.

Write out the alphabet - Try to write out the Military Alphabet from memory. Do this at least once a day, and try to get as many of the letters right as you can.
