Why Do They Do This? Racism?

[ChampakDas]

Why do [b]they [/b]call 101 as one-O(alpha)-one? Is this some kind of racism act against our eminent scholars?
[b][i]they [/i][/b]in the above is very obvious.

On the second thought, that was my sweeping generalization. Mana scientists, scholars chesaru kabati...valaki mana system nachadu kabati anukunna...because I dont see a reason for calling that 'O'

Zero is a little bit longer to pronounce, hence the "oh". As an American speaker, I've always heard it pronounced one 'oh' one, though that doesn't make it anymore correct than one zero one or one-hundred and one even.
