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?

    Rome, Oslo, and Madrid are capitols (Italy, Norway, Spain).

    Innsbrook is not a capitol.

    Is it because he switched continents?

    The first 3 cities are in the Eastern Hemisphere (ie Italy, Norway, Spain) and the last two are in the Western Hemisphere( ie USA), but Innsbook is also in Austria.......

    Because he said "I as in what?"

    He obviously acknowledged the letter. The funny part is that he asked for the clarification.
