In English we have several names for the number zero (0). Sometimes we call it “zero”. Sometimes we call it “nought 1”. Sometimes we say “O” – just like the letter “O”. James Bond 2 was “double o seven” – 007. In most cases, you can use any of these three – zero, nought or “O”. But in the score for a football match, and in many other sports, we say “nil”. For example, Birmingham City 2, Aston Villa 3 0. And in tennis, a zero score is called “love” – for example, “Anderson leads three sets to love”.
