NATO phonetic alphabet
Numbers also have code words, but these are very close to the normal English names. Like letters in words, each digit of a number is read out individually. For instance, "13" is read as the two digits one three, not as the number thirteen. An exception occurs when "00" or "000" appears in a number. These may be read hundred and thousand (1300: one three hundred), though reading them out individually is also correct (1300: one three zero zero – but not as "one thousand three hundred", because the code word thousand means that there is a triple "000" in the text).
