russg Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I always wondered why we use "Oh" instead if Zero. 68040. Sixty Eight Oh Fourty. One less syllable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I have just realised that I should not be contributing to this incorrectly titled thread. Good spot. I hadn't noticed that. It's one of those thuddingly ironic topic titles. Edited February 10, 2012 by flashjazzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Guy on NPR did a short editorial about a listener who scolded them for using "oh" rather than "zero" when they said their zipcode. Is a zero an "oh"? O 0 O 0 O 0 and in Calculus and Physics homework, it was expedient to use: O for 'oh' and Ø for 'zero' although, furthermore, in handwriting: Z is a "two" and Z with line through it, which apparently has no Alt code, is a "zee" or "zed" 7 is a one and 7 with line through it, which also has no Alt code, is a seven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Really,to be correct to the English language, we should say 'six thousand, five hundred and two'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

576XE Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I think that every localized person say it in his local manner. In Russian It's much more simpler and faster to say... (Sixtyfive-Null-two.- In translation of course!) Then Six Five Zero Two. zen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
