Forum auto-linked the letter "Z", not my fault.

I hate that, when it makes an unwanted link like that.

 

And that's a problem when it's ambiguous and you can't be sure about a letter (like when a letter in a name or in an email address might legitimately be S or it might be F, but it's impossible to be sure, because the audio quality isn't good enough, S and F may sound almost exactly alike).

Fortunately, some ppl know about that problem — so the helpful ones will clearly identify the letter, saying e.g.:

"S as in Sam", "F like Frank", "P like Puppy", "T like Tomcat", "C like Charlie", "Z like Zebra", "B like Bob", "D like Dog", etc.

 

there it is again, that annoying auto-linking (of the letter Z in this case).
Wish there were a way to turn that off.

 

I'm editing that to clarify. — I meant: when you can't be sure about a particular letter in a name or an email address — like e.g.:

"J-O-H-N-F-S-M-I-T-H at gmail.com", if "F" and "S" sound alike, that might be
John "F" Smith or it might be John "S" Smith, can't be sure about that middle initial if "S" and "F" sound alike.

 

grover's a bad...

shut your mouth

 

I have a very long and confusing last name, as well as a first name that has the "f" and "s" confusion so just got used to spelling it out as a kid and also saying "F" as in Frank or "S" as in Sally... from the time I was in elementary school. That's not the norm though...

When I worked retail in High School used to have to routinely "call-in" credit cards and would amuse myself giving the letters as the funniest things I could think of on the spot. "F" as in Frankenstein, "S" as in Strudel. Lol.
