It really bothers me when people say "O" (the letter) when its really a "0" (The number).
Is it politically to say "o" instead of "zero"? What you think?

The ratio is something like 85:1 (forget the exact number) of how many times people use the letter O every day vs the number 0, so hence the use of O.

It's a shortcut. The last letter of the word zero is an O.

when relaying a telephone number, I believe "oh" is acceptable
anything else should be "zero"

'O' is easier to say. Unless you are in the army. . . In which case, it is much easier to say it correctly.
