Wasn't it "zulu"? International spelling code, also aviation code. Mmm, not too international, it lacks words for special letters... ç, ñ, ü...

No, zulu was for GMT, international time standard. Zed was used by hams to denote the letter z, just as charlie indicates the letter c.

I thought it was zebra, or is that just the armed forces?

Depending on where you are it is zulu, zebra, zed and I'm sure there are a lot others. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.10.21/96 - Release Date: 10/09/2005
