Why You Stopped Saying Understood And Started Saying ROGER THAT Instead

from telegraph shorthand in the 1800s, to military phonetic alphabets,
to how Hollywood and the Space Race turned it into a global phrase.

Why telegraph operators used the letter "R" as a shortcut
How WWII changed radio communication forever
