I've just heard a native English speaker saying this:
"North.5"
which means:
0.5
I mean seriously?! What kind of number is that? I may have misheard him but in mathematics, I've never heard of this one before, so it must be regional. Please clarify.

You must have heard "nought", pronounced "naut", a mainly British usage meaning the "zero" digit . "Nought point five" is a typically British way of saying aloud what is written as "0.5". In figures, you write one million as a one followed by six noughts.
nought
number (ZERO) [ C ]
mainly UK (USA usually naught) the number 0 or
zero:
He said it was only worth £10, but really you could add a couple of
noughts to that (= it is really worth £1,000).
