One wonders how long .30-06 has been pronounced "thirty ought six"? James Bond has always been 007, i.e., "double-oh seven" or "double-nought seven" ŕ la Jethro Bodine. For me, the year 2007 could be "two thousand (and) seven", "twenty oh seven", "oh seven", "ought seven", but never "zero seven". It's not really complacency, but how the language is used. Zero is Zephyrus, the west wind, the void and empty.

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
