Z - Zed or Zee?

[Gazza]

I can't believe I'm being so unoriginal, but whilst we are discussing the letter H, I thought I'd get some opinions on the other letter with multiple pronunciations; Z.

 

[furie]

Zed, because it's the way it should be said

And no, before any comedic American chimes in - Zed's not dead baby...

Furie, you've ruined the topic by answering the question so conclusively :lol:

 

[Ben]

^He did revive it with a refernce to one of the best films ever made

 

[Hixee]

Zed.

Zee is such an American sounding way to say it.

 

[CMonster]

Zee, obviously! How would you even say it like Zed? :?

 

[ciallkennett]

Zed.

I am not American, hence, I can pronounce things correctly.

 

[nealbie]

Even the French pronounce zed properly, that's how bad America is - being beaten by the French!

No, we're just being original... not following the rest of the world like the french!

So we'll have our um, industrialisation and um, yeah, capitalism back then yeah?

Not copying the rest of the world my arse! :roll:

 

[A-Kid]

Zed if you are saying the letter alone.

Zee if its actually used in a word.

 

[Ben]

^So do you enjoy visiting the Zee-oo?

 

[Snoo]

^^Half right.

I say Zee no matter what.. because you silly Brits think that old school crap is correct. Wrong. That's like saying a Zune is better then a iPod.

Get it right chumps.

 

[nealbie]

Or just pay attention to what is correct and not try and be hip? Makes perfect sense loser

 

[Snoo]

Or just stop being twats. Loser.

Let Wikipedia solve this one:

"In English, the letter's name is almost invariably zed reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta. One notable exception is American English, where its name is zee, deriving from a late 17th century English dialectal form."

Us Brits are more right than the Americans, but they're still wrong

 

[nealbie]

Oh American English, the bane of Microsoft Office! :roll:

Snoo, just die, kthnxbai xx
