I was helping a caller with their account number, said "U comme Université" but they couldn't make it out and asked for another word. at which point I promptly forgot every word ever

never heard a word starting with u in my life!

"U comme... Huguette... no, no, no, c'n'est pas ca..."

(my sympathies)

in English I say unicorn

sometimes I amuse myself in English by seeing what I can get them to repeat

"that's u as in unicorn, s as in stegosaurus and v as in velociraptor"

in French I have set words because I have a more limited vocabulary

Lmao that reminds me of the customer I had who was like "X as in... [forgets every word in existence]... Excalibur..."

Though to be fair I did know he meant X

also X is basically the worst letter

Usually I say X-ray but idk what I would say in french

Though at least in French it doesn't sound so similar to S and F

yeah in English I say X-Ray or xylophone

SO far I haven't needed to say it in French

But when I find the person who decided that Quebec should have all J and G postal codes I will END THEM

Lmao!

it was a CRUEL JOKE on billingual people
