Why do americans and maybe all anglophones say orally "O" to say zero ?
I noticed when, for example, they state numberplate they pronounce the letter O instead of Zero.

Are they retarded ?

"one six height "O" two" Seriously ?

It's faster if you're spouting lists of numbers.

we sometimes say "maru" to say zero, maru means circle in Japanese.

Zero is 2 syllables and O is just 1.

So Americans are too lazy to even speak properly, so they pronounce a number like a letter because they look similar, got it.
Why don't you start pronouncing 1 (one) like I (upper case i) or l (lower case L) too?

sometimes naught and aught
