Runway Numbering - Radio Procedure

If one announces "Runway Two Zero" but the "Zero" is cutoff the listener
thinks "Runway Two". Announcing "Runway "Zero Two" prevents this
possibility.
Obviously this problem only occurs with a limited number of runway
alignments.

The "Runway Zero Two" for someone speaking at 120 words per minute occupies
1/2 second more than "Runway Two."

We've got Rwy 03/21 and 30/12 at STE. I always say Zero Three when using
that runway for exactly the reason you indicate.

Why does announcing "Runway Two Zero" allow the last digit to be cut off
while announcing "Runway "Zero Two" prevents the last digit from being cut
off?

No, you've got Rwy 3/21 and 30/12 at STE.

what is the problem of thinking rwy two or rwy zero-two are they not the
same runway?

No, because there are no runways named "zero-two" in the US...

....but it introduces the possibility of the listener hearing "runway zero".
How is that any better?

It's best to use the numbers painted on the runway.

Roger,... landing on runway 2 over L
or wooould that be.. runway 2 divided by L?

For everyone else.. That would be Runway Two Left
I hate it when people call "on the downwind for two" or "two zero", and
don't specify Left or Right downwind or Left or Right Runway

Similarly, if you're in the pattern for runway 20 and you hear somebody
announce "[your airport] traffic, N123 base, runway 2[garbled]", you can
assume you've missed something. You still haven't made a case for using
anything but the numbers painted on the runway.
