From Charles Pochin
Being somewhat pedantic, I object to the use of the letter “O” for the numeral “0”, when expressing telephone numbers; this is also, astonishingly, programmed into the BT computerised directory inquiry system. Also, the expression of a number using two-digit combinations has always seemed much less prone to misinterpretation – “four, eight, six, double-three, five” or “forty-eight, sixty-three, thirty-five”. Is there any experimental evidence in this area?
