Funny story to tell. I was on a long cross-country trip as an
instructor several years ago, from here in Canada down through MT, ID,
UT, and NV to AZ. I was in a 180, the others were in a 182 and a
couple of 172s. The American controllers, used to the "November one
two three Kilo" thing, had more than a little difficulty with our
Canadian call signs. The 180, as an example, was C-FIAC. Try that
phonetically.
As we transited Salt Lake to Provo, the controller, a woman, did
something like this after I called in north of the city:

Click. "Canadian Charlie Foxtrot Indie Alphia Charl..." Click.
Click. "Canadian Charlia Foxtrot India Alphia..." Click.
Click. "Canadian Foxtrot Charlie Alpha Indie..." Click.
Click. Much laughter by other controllers heard in background tower
noise. Frustration and embarrassment evident in her voice. "Canadian
180, proceed on course east of the highway."
