Do people say type (number) one/zero? I’ve always heard it as Type (Letter) O.

Cos you’ve got stuff like type A and B.

Wikipedia says:

Type O is often called 0 (zero, or null) in other languages.

It's either A, B, AB or none of it, so zero/null.

The Wikipedia quote is misleading - some European countries used zero/null but it was agreed that the prevailing usage should be the letter O.

Wiki source 12

Apparently, it was originally C and changed later, too.
