They pronounce Z as zed in Britain??Winston_Churchill wrote:
The last letter of the alphabet
Pretty much the pronunciation difference in British English vs American English
I'm kind of confused, if "Z" is ZED in English, how do you pronounce "Zebra?" I'm assuming it's "ZEHbra" because I pronounce some words with the 'American' ZEE and others the other way. i.e., I pronounce "Zebra" as ZEEbra and "Zealot" as ZEHlot.
So yeah, null vote for me.
So yeah, null vote for me.

Ah, I see. I dunno, being accustomed to ZEEbra makes it roll off of my tongue better than ZEHbra.mkxiii wrote:

I have a direction to send most of you Zed-Huggers. I refer you to my first post of this here thready-deal.
Also, doesn't this topic make you marvel how far we've come through the Internet. We're now able to argue two different languages based simply on where we're from, for the most part. How amazing...I wrote:
Hmm, interesting that in Men in Black, Rip Torn's character is called Zed instead of Z whilst all the other agents only go by one letter, J or K for instance. Even the credits list specifically as Zed, instead of the letter. Those damned snooty Brits are trying to spread their influence across the globe again! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Putting extra "i"s into aluminum and whatnot! You can't make it "zed" here though, since it will ruin the whole foundation of the alphabet and thus collapse the world, and then...THE UNIVERSE! {dun dun dunnnnnnnn}
"...w, x, y, and z(ee). Now I know my ABCs, next time won't you sing with me?"
"...w, x, y, and z(ed). Now I know my A to Z(ed), by this time next year we'll all be dead!" <--- I rest my case

I can't bothered to go through all of them.
You'd think it was pretty hard to spell a letter wrong, but you've managed it.
like z in pwnz.
Just Z.

He's "spelling" the letter just fine, you're doing the phonetic I believe.
Nope. The phonetic alphabet is a horrible and bent thing that I don't understand.
āl'kə-hôl - is alcohol in the phonetic alphabet. Weird, no?
Didnt the Yanks travel from England to the American mainland? They spoke english right? At first, they would have Zed, but since the Brits were a negative impact on the Yanks, they probably changed it to ZEE, just to be different? o.0
noice 
In the English (as opposed to American) speaking world, it's Zed.
And, seeing as we invented the language, it's ZED.
OK?
