- brewdad 4y agoWhile I tend to use the verbal shortcut, your way is much less likely to be misinterpreted. "Set the power to point three" sounds the same orally as "Set the power two point three" The zero makes it unambiguous.
- thrdbndndn 4y agoIt also helps that in my language, zero, point, and all the numbers are all one-syllable, hehe
- gugagore 4y ago"to" is often reduced to something like "tuh", whereas "two" never is. Except in deliberate word-by-word pronunciation, "one two three" and "one to three" sound different in native US English.
