Why some people use not instead of zero?
Hmm, interesting. Do you think this has any linguistic or cultural roots?
Definitely. The use of "not" instead of "zero" is very common in English, but other languages and cultures may have different ways of expressing the same concept. There's also a lot of variation within English dialects and regional dialects, so it's possible that certain groups or regions may be more likely to use one phrase over the other.
