they were saying :
Describing a length as "zero centimetres" is redundant, incidentally;
if the length is zero it's zero whatever the unit and thus is probably
best phrased as "zero length", depending on context.
I think it's fairly safe to say that "zero miles" may very well cover a
wider range of zero than "zero microns".
That rather depends on context. I'd say there's a difference between
"0 cm" and "0 nm" but not between "zero centimetres" and "zero
nanometres".
Maybe I'm out of touch with current scientific noation, though.
