Not just a US thing, so I hope this is okay to ask here. I have just never encountered this is any language other than English. Is it simply that O and 0 look similar, and that “oh” has fewer syllables than “zero”? I have not heard a good explanation from coworkers who I’ve asked.

Nah, I’ve been in Oregon since I moved here. My English is pretty good now though; I pass as a native English speaker now, and generally don’t let people think otherwise. Once in a long while I’ll hear people shit talking me for being trans in Japanese, but not often (it usually happens in English, sadly).
