I think their logic is this:
You say Cee, Dee, Eee, Gee, so why not Zee?

But the correct* way is Zed.

Our Sesame Street is dubbed Zed now. That programme destroyed a generation of English speakers.


* According to the guys to which the fucking language is named after.

Bah. Why do yanks say "Mom" when we say "Mum", why do yanks say "aluminum" when we say "aluminium"? Why do they write "ass" when they mean "arse"?
Dosn't matter. American-English originated from the English in England so American-English will forever be technically incorrect.

So nyah nyah! Thhppbbb!

By the way, letters cannot be said or written phoeneticly. Only words can.

Hate to break it to all you England-English fanboys, but they said 'zee' in a 17th century dialect. In England. It's gone out of usage there now, but it was commonplace about the time when the US' independence was claimed.

when the brits say Z-trooper it is probably like "Zed-Trooper" unless they have seen the movie "Snatch" when they might pronounce it like "Zee-trooper" as in "Zee-Germans"
