February 4th, 2008Two point oh? Or zero?
The BBC are coming up with guidance on how staff should pronounce the phrase “Web 2.0″. Is it, for example:
- Web two point oh
- Web two point zero
- Web two dot oh
- Web two
- etc etc etc…
I have always been a two point oh kinda guy myself, which puts me in line with most folk. I do think there is a nice simplicity to just web two, but it misses the essential nerdiness of the extra version number, redundant as it may be.
What’s your preferred pronunciation?

two point zero - don’t mix your numbers and letters!

Heh. That’s what Mrs DavePress says. Only, whenever I give my phone number, I always say oh instead of zero, or nought.
Maybe I’v just got some sort of really specific dyslexia…
