The number, that is. :lol: It's a family 'thing' I always got corrected for. "Oh" is a letter, "zero" is the number. Heard a discussion on a radio station on the way home today.

I try very hard to say "zero" when referring to the number, but am not always successful.

Yup, I"m like Jack and BC. I try hard to say zero, but sometimes "oh" just flows better.

Besides....it was good enough for Tommy Tutone...867-53oh9... :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's funny....I'll say 3 oh 3 for that...but I typically say 2 zero 9 for mine and for 480 in AZ I do both...go figure. :roll: :lol:

When I get lucky I say "double down!!"

You know, I meant that as a gambling joke, but I guess you can read other things into it....

Jack.....that picture freaked me the hell out! :o :-? :o

As for the question.....I use both. When at work I say "zero" since I work with Social Security Numbers and different kinds of PIN#'s

I always thought it was funny how it was pronounced Beverly Hill 9-oh-2-1-oh! :lol:
