What do you say when you mean 0. Nought or Zero?

w00t (But I used to say Zero. ermm)]

I will not except 0, O/o (with or without an accent), Nil or Oh.

Not sure... Voted Nought.

I say Zero.

Whichever.

O

I say zero except when zero is used in 0, 00, 000 style measurements.

Then I use naught, double naught, etc.

PS- While either way is correct, if you use naught all the time you're just being pretentious.


Sort of like people who say "irregardless" instead of "regardless".

nOught.

Naught also means nothing, jack-o.

"irregardless" isn't really a word

I ashamed to say it's now an acceptable form of speech.

I say "O", unless it's money then I say zero.

The one that'll invade you if you don't agree.

American English: zero.
British English: nought.

Nought before and after the decimal point. Oh after a decimal point as well, in telephone numbers, in (hotel) room numbers and in years. Nil in footbal scores.


Ceterum censeo OTF esse delendam.

Ceterum censeo OTF esse delendam. I know, but I wanted see if Americans use nought and vice versa.

I know people who use the letter 'O' instead of the number ')'... like in phone numbers or game scores. Kinda weird really.
