Consider this phone conversation:
May I speak to the director?"
"Who's calling, please?"
"John Rominich."
"I beg your pardon, could you please spell your last name?"
"R as in Rome, O as in Oslo, M as in Madrid, I as in Innsbrook..."
"I as in what?"
"Innsbrook."
"Thanks, please go ahead."
"N as in Nome..."
This does not make sense. Why?

because he said "R as in Rome" and then "N as in Nome" (is there such thing as Nome anyway?), so Rome and Nome could be confused over the phone.
Anyway, why doesn't he just spell out the letters instead of giving wierd place names for each letter?

Because if the phone receptionist knew that it was "I as in what?"; why would they need to know the "as in" part?
