Ever wonder where "roger that" and "copy that" come from, and what they truly signify?
Both originated in military and aviation radio communication, where clear acknowledgment was crucial. Roger dates back to the 1927 phonetic alphabet, where “R” represented “received.” By World War II, roger that became a standard way for Allied forces to confirm that a message had been both received and understood. Meanwhile, copy that arose from radio operators confirming they had accurately transcribed transmissions.
Today, these phrases remain vital in military and aviation and have permeated popular culture as shorthand for acknowledgment.
