Wildly off topic, but the way this is cut has always driven me insane.

Depending on the font it can be hard to tell.

 

[Poimandres]

My phone number starts 04000. When giving out my number do you really expect me to say "zero four triple zero" when "oh four triple oh" is so much simpler?

OP I got something for you

 

[I Don't Like]

N'oh

 

[Doukou]

Zero my god.

 

[Ryuelli]

Nzero

Edit: Lol, beaten to this about a million years ago at this point.

 

[kmfdmpig]

Zero'kay

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

Oooooh, no this isn't happening. There is n0 reason to go on. What. What am I fighting foooooooooooor!!

 

[DvdGzz]

Yes to thread title, especially when you're calling in a license plate of a suspected DUI. Dispatch appreciates accuracy.

My old apartment number had an O in it. But my landlord recommended I input it as 0, because the the O would get mistaken as a D, and my mail would go to the wrong apartment.

Why? Because the blades from the wide shit wouldn't pass that far through the wall?

 

[Gyroscope]

Noh.

 

[Noodle]

I say we all switch back to using "aught". In the year of our Lord two aught and score years....

 

[mbpm]

Zero my god

 

[ChrisD]

It's quicker and easier to remember if understood by all parties, like if you're giving directions, "take exit four oh one", for example.

I try to make sure to use zero and o as separate things if there can be confusion.

[The Albatross]

What the fuck is this?

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

Nice try coaxing that paradigm shift.

I saw a human curiosity yesterday write the year Twenty Twelve as "2O12".

 

[Midnight Train]

Oh% chance that's gonna happen, boss.

 

[Deleted member 18360]

Also I feel like it's a strange choice to broadcast that you can't tolerate like a base minimum of ambiguity even if it's more ergonomic for people in daily life and speech and which virtually never produces significant misunderstandings of any kind.

hbu stop being a weird rigid dork, OP.

 

[LegendofJoe]

This bothers me as well OP, so I'm with you.

 

[Geeko]

No, my area code will always be 4 oh 8 and the major freeway through town will always be the 1 oh 1

ZI-OH and Zero OH One?

 

[Perfectsil]

Request denied

 

[Wally_Wall]

Zero why don't you shut it. I have oh reason to listen to you on this.

 

[FTF]

Maybe I'll show her my zero face

 

[Keldroc]

Doesn't fit the meter. 867-5309 outranks OP.

 

[EloKa]

The english 0 already has like 10 names at this point. Doesn't matter if you throw in an additional "oh" onto that pile.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Cant wait for the next double zero seven movie

Edit: oh

 

[boomroasted]

My old phone number had a zero in it and I always said oh, just flowed better.

 

[Kohinoor]

Yeah I"m totally going to tell people to get on highway one zero one

 

[Anatole]

It's me James Bond, Agent Double Zero Seven

edit: welp, I should read past the op

 

[Everybody Lies]

It would sound funny if I called it Hawaii Five Zero.

 

[Heynongman!]

nah, dawg. I'mma keep saying oh when it makes sense to do so, which is in most instances.

 

[Princess Viola]

does op seriously expect me to read times like 8:07 as 'eight zero seven' instead of 'eight oh seven'

do you really op

tell me

 

[Spectral Glider]

Cyberdine systems model one oh one....even a cyborg says it that way.

 

[Yossarian]

N0. Literally zer0 chance of that, 0p.

 

[matrix-cat]

Zero and Oh being interchangeable is English one zero one.

 

[deftech]

Double Zero Seven

Sounds stupid

Bingo

 

[TheYanger]

Why would I do that. When I'm talking on the phone and worried they might not hear me I enunciate the entire thing, otherwise fuck off.
