How do other pilots like to refer to runway numbers ?

"three zero" makes more sense than "thirty", as all pilots with
English as a second language would have to learn to count to 35.

No -- they have to go to 36, as there is no Runway Zero-Zero. It is
Runway Three Six.


And iirc, the phonetic convention only goes to nine. So would 29 be
"twenty niner"? Two niner makes more sense.
