Quoted: Quoted: Listening to one-oh-nine-point-five in my five-point-oh with a trunk full of three-oh-eight I see what you've done here. yeah, he lied, nobody has a whole truck full of 308. NOBODY. Not only does nobody have that much ammo in stock, if they did the car would be too heavy to drive, even with a 5.0 engine in it. |

We need a new thread rating and it will be a popular rating in GD: Diva
di-va noun a self-important person who is temperamental and difficult to please (typically used of a woman) Nobody other than the OP gives a fuck, so OP is a diva and this is a diva thread. Edit: Apologies to the Arfchicks for the comparison in the definition |

You can't say "zero" without "oh."
Why use two syllables when one gets the job done? |

Oh no :-) One of our asshole customers sends over drawings with part numbers like MT0XG1TYO11. I'm sure their naming scheme makes sense to them, but it's hell when someone enters the part into the database and mixes up 0/O, the order gets put in with mixed up 0/O, and I'm trying to look for a drawing to make a program, or an operator is looking for a program. |

My job revolves around numbers. STO/PO numbers, trailer numbers, truck numbers, SKU numbers, bin numbers, branch numbers, quantity numbers, dollar amounts, dates, employee numbers, etc, etc...
One would sound retarded if using 'zero' and 'decimal' in place of 'oh' and 'point'. In fact, I have never heard of someone replacing the word 'point' with 'decimal'. That is just plain stupid. OP is wrong and should feel bad. |

Its a pet peeve for me also, but I don't usually talk about it

View Quote I'm pretty sure I remember being taught by one of my ancient teachers that it's incorrect to say point. 10.564 is not ten point five-six-four, it is ten and five hundred four thousandths. Of course for ease of data entry these days no one gives a damn. |

Do you also get triggered when people don't say "tree", "fife", and "niner"?
