I used this a lot when working tech support. I also had a slightly different version taped up in my cube (not my pic, but identical alphabet).

I once overheard someone trying to spell something over the phone using this, but they were saying "L for Lima" (ignoring the whole point of the system), and it went like this: "L for Lima" "Alfa Lima?" "No, ELL, for LEEMA" "...Alfa Lima?" (repeat a few more times) It was infuriating to listen to.

Swedish version is all men's names - Adam, Bertil, Cesar, David. But I like the version I learned in telegraphy training, where each word/combination is pronounced like the morse code: Armé (.-), Bombfällare (-...), Caesar sover (-.-.), Dahlia (-..), etc
