I say "oh" instead of "zero" just to annoy people like DisgruntledVirus.

The English would consider this entire convesation to be for naught!

Nope, because I do it myself.

Never really even thought about it.

Our area code, for example.. I've always said it "5-O-3".

Weird.

I was waiting for a reference to the O Face, didn't expect that though. Well played.

As a system admin that deals with a lot of passwords, I've gotten in the habit of saying zero for 0 and oh for o even when outside of work. Hardly pretentious...nothing worse than a user saying their password has an "oh" when it's actually a zero.

Not really, but I've been noticing it a lot more in myself. I've been working to correct it for awhile.

Because zero face sounds weird.

 

[Oceandevi]

yes

 

[geno]

:Q ZERO FACE!!1!1

 

[n7]

I use both.

But always zero when there's a possibility of confusion.

Zero with a Zed

i say 'oh' but if asked to be repeated, i say 'zero' only because I've most likely slurred my numbers with 'oh'
