In German, ...when giving ... a series of numbers, one should pronounce "zwei" (2) as "zwo" to avoid confusion with "drei" (3)
Certainly true when I was working in the IT industry in Germany 25 years ago. Caught me out the first time I heard it. I am sure I have heard and used it since with Germans without comment.
