Allegations?[edit]

Where did these allegations of Nazism/Fascism come from? 92.237.21.186 (talk) 19:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's because the way they say the R letter resembles the way Nazis said it, nowadays no one says it like that. So people think they do it to identify themselves with Nazis. By the way, I'm a native speaker and don't see the point why the article says "zwei" and "drei" could be confused. No one would mishear that in German. The words are way too different, they just rhyme. They're as similar to us as the words "move" and "soothe". There are no references that the band said such a thing, so I will remove it. --stefan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.11.53.81 (talk) 00:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree on the R thing they just say the words a lot harder.

But there is an error in the text zwo does not come from zwoelf but the other way around. It's from the time when Europe did not have the decimal system but used a dozen(12) or half a dozen(6) instead, they changed to the decimal system and the the people when counting did have the problem that they had two to much. Zwo is old german for two and liv is old german for "left over". Sorry for my bad English, but you can read it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_(number) or for those who understand german http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwölf#Sprachliches —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slaveriq (talk • contribs) 18:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Zwo is an older form of the number 2. Linguists tell us that zwei used to be declined zwee(n), zwo (/zwa), zwei for the masc./fem./neutr. gender. Anyway, in pretty much every occupation that uses radiotechnics (prominently the military), saying the normal German "zwei" is considered awkward (and will result in a tell-off), and the reason is indeed because zwo is easier distinguished from drei than zwei on the radio-device. (And perhaps also that groups have to keep up their sociolects.) Anyway, being a former conscript I do find it useful in spelling out numbers in civilian life too. --2001:A60:15F5:D501:400B:E8E5:70B0:6AA6 (talk) 13:07, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Zwo" is also used in Switzerland (Bern for example) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.203.128.165 (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
