Why does someone so obsessed with the semantics of "zero" and "O" choose not to use proper spelling, grammar, capitalization, or punctuation when they type?

We say "oh" because that's how our language goes, and people understand what we're saying.
Americans also don't call a dog "Canis lupus familiaris", because in our language it's called a fucking "dog".

Actually, most other languages that I know of refer to 007 as zero-zero-seven translated.

It's what you're used to, saying double-o seven in Estonian wound sound as wank as zero-zero-seven sounds in English

zero my god

Excatly.. but let the Americans have abit of fun, after all, its the best and only country in the world... according too.... umm...Americans?

in fairness, double-o-seven is more of a name than a number though.

we (as in dutchos) dont translate names in the first place so its all good

Seriously, you're an idiot on what is now a massive, massive scale.

So apparently there are absolutely no informal conventions regarding names, terms, slang, shorthand, etc., in other languages?

And, who fucking cares?

Maybe the people who came up with the name should be reported.

So you're saying that, since an Estonian would translate 007 as "groksnip groksnip parsley" instead of "snip snip parsley" literally, then the original version in English should do the same?

Christ man, think before typing. And you even just agreed with Deji that it sounds wank in English to fully enunciate it.

Now you're trying to make it out to be a microcosm of the ills of American culture?

This is really, really bothering you isn't it?

Looks like the American way of life upset queefherder.

crap... owned.

i think this is the first person james bond has upset here.

I think it probably came from saying, for instance, "Six o'clock." You never say, "Six-thirty o'clock," so it's possible that "o'clock" is a shortening of "zero" and "o" used in conjection with a number is a shortening of it too (more specifically, a shortening of "o'clock").

No, six o'clock is a contraction for "six of the clock."

I guess this is a "Thirty Zero Six" round:

Not exactly relevant, as it's a "thirty-ought six", I've never heard anyone call it a "thirty-oh six".

Everyone I've heard talk about the Corvette Z06 calls it the Z-oh-6, though. YES, THEY PRONOUNCE THE MOTHERFUCKING HYPHENS, TOO.

I know it's a thirty-aught-six -- I was trying to snare him with that one.

i concur:

what about if it is 7:03. who says its seven zero three?

I say three past seven or seven three.
