Very minor quibble: it's spelled JULIETT with two Ts (although I like the acceptance of one). The word when displayed at the end should have the double T.

charli is the female spelling (charlotte aitchison aka charli xcx) whereas charlie is the male spelling which is why the question asks for charlie puth

This was fun.

P.S. You mentioned the Greek letter is spelled differently, but you didn't do the same for the female Shakespeare character. For the sake of consistency, it may be a good idea to address that in both clues.

That Gatorade clue is all but useless for those of us who don’t live in north America. You can work it out by elimination if nothing else, but there must be more universal ways to hint at it. Phoebe’s boyfriend in Friends, or the first name of Mr Bloomberg etc.

That would also be fairly useless for those who don't watch Friends and who don't know Mr, Bloomberg.

Kg is not a prefix - maybe you should call it an abbreviation.

Kilo is the prefix and is used for any 1000x the base unit. Kilometre = 1000m, kilonewton = 1000N...

Kg is kilogram specifically.

Nor I. Never seen Alfa or Juliett. It´s Juliet in the Shakespeare play and its Alpha in the Greek alphabet (not alfabet!!) so that´s what I´ve always used in the phonetic alphabet. Not that it matters as it´s intended to be spoken.

Just like the second t in Juliett, f is used over ph to remove ambiguity in pronunciation. In some languages, the ph digraph is not pronounced as f, but rather indicates an aspirated p, much like English's 'tophat' or 'upheave.'

Same, I was taught Alpha when learning it back in the cadets in the 90's but having just looked it up it seems that Alfa has been the official spelling since 1956 and was adopted as not all NATO countries would recognise the ph as a f sound. So today I learned.

Not a fan for the clues for Charlie and Mike. They're obscure for users in some parts of the world.

rocamorar and LuckyCat, I agree with both of you. I did all the obvious ones and was left with Charlie, Echo and Mike. Didn´t take long to work out which was which.

Took me a while for the "yell into a canyon" one because I usually yell "My [ex-wife] is [expletive deleted]!"

I guess it's Alfa for the languages in which "ph" isn't pronounced "f".
