ABC... XY 'zay'???

[TuxDave]

I'm feeling a little insecure here. Two friends in my building are pronouncing the letter 'z' as zay... I'm thinking, isn't it the letter 'zee'? Is this a common thing? I came from the East coast (NJ) and everyone says 'zee'. These Berkeley people are beginning to freak me out.

'zee' is how I say it.


Your friends are just weird.

in the UK it is pronounced zed, IIRC.

I'm a Canadian living in the US. Sometimes I say zee and sometimes I say zed just to confuse the locals.

"zed" is French...

hmm... maybe they were saying 'zed' all this time, sure sounded like 'zay' to me, let's see if I can add that to the poll.

In Trinidad, my teachers and sometimes my parents would say "zed", but us kids, being raised on American TV (like Sesame street), said "zee".
