No thanks, we’re not in America. Please use –se endings whenever you can (for example, emphasise, realise, capitalise). Watch out for American autocorrects or spellchecks trying to ‘help’!

The plural is zeros if you’re talking about the number, but zeroes if you’re talking about the verb (to adjust something such as a set of scales to zero, or to set the sights of something such as a gun for firing).

One word, no hyphen (unlike the Spice Girls’ song Wannabe, where it’s zig-a-zig-ah).

Are lower case, for example, London zoo or Edinburgh zoo.
