Had a british couple in at my work yesterday

[Rags]

I'd say zero or nothing (Scotland). I always thought naught was more north of England, obviously I'm wrong.

 

[highhopes19]

Naught here Aswell x

 

[lau86]

I say nought to three too. I just thought everyone knew what nought was!

 

[deafgal]

As an american, I use the term "zero" ...and I also use the "O" letter when referring to phone numbers or addresses like this: 2306 elm avenue, I would say "twenty -three oh six elm avenue"

The term naught would make me think it means "none" or "gone" or "nothing" when sometimes zero is the beginning of a number (think of the zero in the number 2306) "

 

[jenniferannex]

I'm in the UK and it's naught to me too!!

 

[babycrazy1706]

I say nought to three also

 

[Camlet]

I say naught to! Zero to three would just sound weird to me xx

 

[CRWx]

I say nought, zero and oh!

Greedy

 

[nic18]

I say zero aswell, I hate the word naught.

 

[Jchihuahua]

Do people who don't say nought still say 'noughts and crosses' when playing that game or is it 'zeros and crosses'?

 

[Natsku]

Zeros and crosses sounds really weird

 

[alicecooper]

nought to three here.

Not naught though.

Nought = zero = oh = the number before 1.

Naught = Nothing, but not in the numerical sense. As in "There was naught there but grass." or "You'll find he has naught to offer you."

 

[sam2eb]

I call noughts and Crosses, xee osees!!

(I haven't a clue how I should be spelling that!!!)

 

[Lucy139]

Haha I call it zero! Probably depends on your area...I'm common as muck!

Hahaha!!! I totally agree with this lol x

 

[maryp0ppins]

Do people who don't say nought still say 'noughts and crosses' when playing that game or is it 'zeros and crosses'?

neither, I call it "tic tac toe"

 

[Tasha]

My children call it tic tac toe too, I have no idea where they got that from though as it has always been noughts and crosses to me

 

[maryp0ppins]

Its the way Canadians and Americans say it.

 

[Tiff]

I suppose we're supposed to call it tic tac toe, but I call it "x's and o's".

So like "ex's and oh's"

 

[foquita]

I call it exes and ohs too

 

[CormacksGirl]

I'm from Scotland and say Zero to three months.

And Noughts and crosses!!
