The .30-06 Springfield cartridge (pronounced “thirty-aught-six” or “thirty-oh-six”),7.62×63mm in metric notation and called “.30 Gov’t ’06” by Winchester,[3] was introduced to the United States Army in 1906 and later standardized; it remained in use until the early 1980s.
He’s all yours, TraceAm.
“(pronounced “thirty-aught-six” or “thirty-oh-six”)”
I’m speculating here (guessing), but I believe that “aught” was originally “naught” (zero), but lost the “N” to an Irish accent, and later became widely accepted without the first letter.
I was a member of local union “six-aught-eight” (608) which was filled with Irishmen (“Westies” — Irish mob from west side of Manhattan) who had thick Irish accents. African and West Indies blacks still often use “naught” for zero, but they pronounce the “N”.
Well I thought that was interesting.
