Here in England, I think that most of us would say "three pi by eight", "pi by four" and "plus or 
minus three point two to the four" - or perhaps "... three point two to the fourth".

If you're Greek, by the way, then pi is pronounced "pee" as in our letter "P", rather than "pie". 
Apparently we "mispronounce" most greek letters (at least according to modern Greek usage) and we 
used to get thoroughly confused when I tried to discuss quantum mechanics with a Greek physicist 
friend!
