Indeed. Folx know it as two and twenty-two and yeah, we don't say twenty-two but that's how they see it.
0 and 00 are what? Oh and Oh-Oh? or maybe zero and double zero? Depends on your mechanic. Yeah, we can distinguish the two, but the game includes spectators and competing teams, either of which can easily be confuse by this nothing and double-nothing nonsense.
The math folks will tell us 00, 0, 00000, and 0000000000 are all the same number -- zero.
The only reason 00 exists is Jim Otto had a good thing going when the AFL was looking for anything that would draw some notice. Since then it has been nothing more than bid for cheap attention.
The suggestion that 0 and 00 (zero and zero) are the same as 2 and 22 (two and twenty-two) is patently absurd.
