I recently read in teh Garden of Beasts, which is about the American ambassadors stint in Germany during the early years of Hitler's leadership.

One of the tidbits was about how government officials were officially told to stop using some name when spelling out words (you know, when saying "A as in apple, T as in Thomas, etc.). I can't remember the name you weren't supposed to use any more, but it was determined to be too semitic.
