sc49erfan15 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 No, it's not a score. We've accepted it as a score, just like we accept people saying "offsides", "should of", "irregardless", and other .If a game ends 0-0, what was the score of the game? You don't say there was no score.Sure you do. It was a scoreless game. It implies that the scoreboard read "0-0" and there was no scoring by either team.Right. "There was no scoring." = "a scoreless tie" = "nobody scored" = "The score was 0-0."0 is a number. Therefore, 0-0 is a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 0-0 score actually reflects a game with no scoring, technically, rather than no score. A game always has a score, even if their has yet to be any scoring.

Exactly.As long as score is being kept, 0-0 is a score.If you're not keeping score...you're not keeping score. There's literally no score. Like in tag. Or checkers. Or whatever.

You want me to teach you relatively easy concepts on uses of there, they're, and their?? As long as score is being kept, 0-0 is a score.The word "score" originated from keeping a tally by using a rock (or some other device) and making a mark on wood or dirt. People used to "score" the wood or dirt with the rock when keeping a tally. If there's nothing to tally, it's impossible to "score" the wood. There are no score marks. The wood is scoreless. We're never going to agree. You, Goth, Saintsfan and Mockba have your view. I have mine. Mine is you should never say "It's a 0-0 tie going into the bottom of the sixth"...rather, "It's scoreless going to the bottom of the sixth". Yes, we're splitting hairs. But people think "offsides" is correct. C'est la vie. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not wrong to say 'the game is scoreless' because that reflects a game in which no scoring has occured.

They haven't scored, and there are no points for the official scorer to tally. And I'd be extra careful on typos if I'm trying to make someone feel dumb about the English language...

DaRadniz29 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Both can be correct in terms of zero depending on in what context one is speaking of the term you are defining zero. Just like most things in the english language there are multiple meanings and can have different meanings. For example in certain mathematical properties zero, shown by 0 is considered a place holder, and can be a place holder in monetary values. Though it is a number in certain other places, for example the keypad of the phone. Sure the zero on the keypad of the phone can be used as a place holder, but it doesn't always have to be.I don't mind anyone saying 0-0. I personally wouldn't say 0-0 tie, because it's kind of redundant. I've heard hockey announcers typically say "no score" which is fine with me. I think if a soccer match ends 0-0, it's okay to say 0-0 draw, but "scoreless draw" may fit better. What annoys me is when I hear some replace zero with "O" quite a few times I hear "What's the score" it's O-O" or I hear "what's his phone number? "(Five-O-Five) Some may not realize that they say O and would typically dial 505. However some when they might hear Five-O-Five, might start dialing 565.
