Teaching Topic: Zero or Oh? 「零」要怎麼讀？
Is it ever okay to pronounce the number zero like the letter o? Yes, there are many times when it’s acceptable to say o like in postal zip codes, 90210.

Also in room numbers, I’m in room 502. What about credit card numbers and phone numbers?Absolutely, 8675309.

And don’t forget double agent titles, it’s double o seven, not double zero seven.

Now as a rule of thumb, we should say zero when discussing things related to math and science.

For example, two minus two equals zero, not o. And when talking about really cold temperatures, we’ll say last night the temperature dropped to forty below zero.

Sounds chilly, now in sports there are lots of ways to say zero, like nil, nothing, and zip. So Ken, what was the score for last night’s game?

Three nothing. Some sports even have their own special words for zero. In tennis, it’s love, in cricket, it’s duck.

Um, okay, you know sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between a printed zero and an o, that’s why computers create zeros with a dot in the middle, or a slash through them to help distinguish them on things like airline and train tickets.
