Huh? No - zero is zero. Thinking of the last letter of the alphabeta
perhaps. Half my students mispronounce that because they were brought
up watching Sesame Street on the electronic babysitter. But then,
they think 'a lot' is one word as well.

Similar here only in reverse. I thought that most places had a
similar system. We accumulate points - speeding at less than 10km
over the limit and caught on a speed camera cost me a fine AND a
demerit point. Reach a certain number of points in a two year period
and it's automatic license suspension for a few months. Consequently,
half the professional white van drivers in this country are driving
vehicles licensed to their bedridden grandmothers. Develop a system
and the people develop a dodge.
