Mixture of 0 and Zero depending on the quality of the phone call.
I alternate. Even in describing a number say over the phone such as 0800502134532. I'll say zero eight zero zero five nought two ....
so, is saying 'oh' acceptable because it's short for zer-oh? or is it really just mixing up 0's and O's, like what I thought before this thread!
Nought doesn't exist in my vocabulary.
I never, ever say nought, and I positively dislike hearing, or reading, owt or nowt, are they different pronunciations of ought and nought?
Did you never play noughts and crosses ?
I'm far too thick to speak another language. Although I'd love to.
The trouble is.... everyone speaks English already
Ich kann nur ein oder zwei hundert worten (auf Deutsch), nicht mehr. Ich bin dummkopf Aber Ich verstehe "nein", lolWell you asked for it Foxy, you put nein for nine!
With my ancestry, I find French a piece of cake, but I only have ein bisschen German.
My German daughter-in-law says that as she finds it easy to do The Times crossword, and I apparently have acquired a decent accent, I should apply myself more to learning the language.
She says all this in impeccable English, so it hardly spurs me on to try.
I try to say Zero as O/Oh is a letter. I get annoyed at myself when if I'm saying out someones number I say Zero and Oh in the same breath.

And my grammar sucks
Unless you have private schooling/tuition, most schools in this country only start teaching a foreign language at 11+. Looking at other European nations that's far, far too late. The people who I know who are really fluent either went and lived in abroad, or had private schooling, or both.
But then I keep reminding myself that, as a hermit, it really doesn't help me to speak more languages
