"Zero's origins most likely date back to the “fertile crescent” of ancient Mesopotamia. Sumerian scribes used spaces to denote absences in number columns as early as 4,000 years ago, but the first recorded use of a zero-like symbol dates to sometime around the third century B.C. in ancient Babylon.;"

A few years ago I read a comment somewhere, someone made a fantastic point but there was a minor misspell. And I thought...... big deal! This person is a great thinker. And if people sometimes mispronounced a word it's because they learned the word by reading it. Be kind to others.❤
