Do you say zero or oh?

Question

When you are saying your phone # or birthdate do you say

4 oh 1 or 4 zero 1

I always say oh and I know its zero but it just rolls off my tongue easier to say oh

Answer 1

O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Answer 2

Zero - zerro .One should say zero because if someone is spelling a phone number,and says 0h referring to 0 the other person will dial the wrong number.One might dial 6=oh verses 0= oper. This happen to me before.

Answer 3

If it is in a series of numbers and letters, I try to remember to say zero. For anything else, I try to say zero, but I grew up around my parents and grandparents saying "oh" and it's a hard habit to break.

Answer 4

I use Zero all because of a math teacher who used to say, "O is a letter, not a number." It seems like that's one of the few things I didn't rebel against from my childhood. I wonder why?

Answer 5

haha. i normally say oh like "4 1 oh" or "oh 6" but in math i say zero. it is easier to say oh.

Answer 6

in an informal setting i'll say oh, in a formal setting (like giving a number to the police or someone above me) i'll say zero

It depends on whichever is more convenient to say. I'll say 4 oh 1.
