Examples:
- One oh two Main Street
- Four oh seven PM
- Biology one oh one
- Eight six seven, five three oh nine
- Four oh four: Not found
Not just a US thing, so I hope this is okay to ask here. I have just never encountered this is any language other than English. Is it simply that O and 0 look similar, and that “oh” has fewer syllables than “zero”? I have not heard a good explanation from coworkers who I’ve asked.
Is James Bond Zero-zero-seven or oh-oh-seven?
Genuinely asking, it’s been a while I watched a James Bond movie
Another great example! It’s pronounced “double oh seven” in the original English films, but I believe foreign dubs pronounce it correctly as “cero doble siete” or equivalent.
