If you've been battling to leave phone messages, maybe it's because you're not speaking properly when you try and spell your name? The fact that you went to Yale or Oxford is no use here, it's time to learn your ABC's again. Here are the letters whose pronunciation has morphed furthest away from what you're used to :

F : eff-oo
H : aych-ee
L : ell-oh
R : ar-lo
S : ess-ee
V : wee
X : eck-see
Z : ee-zed
