I don't get why British people use zed. It don't sound right at all.

I don't get why British people use zed. It don't sound right at all.

Neither does 'zee' though. The pronunciation of letters doesn't particularly matter, as there's no real relation to their actual sounds when used in words. The advantage I can see with using 'zed' is that the letters c and z can't be confused when spelling something aloud. 'See'(c) and 'zee'(z) are almost completely indistinguishable when I say them, but I'm not sure how much that has to do with my accent/voice. Is that the case in most American accents as well?


Using 'zer' instead of either would make a lot more sense.

I made a joke last night about a group of women deciding what can be done with Scalia's body and my brother's wife liberal wife started saying: "not now okay? that's not funny, it's not smart, this is why I deleted you from Facebook!"

Wish I would've told her: "at least you're giving me a choice..."

All I have to say is that I was watching a BBC documentary and the British fellow was explaining something like 'it's as simple as (x)ex, (y)why, (z)zed." and I'm like whoa that sounds weird.

I spent some time in Australia and while I was there I volunteered to in an elementary school. The kids thought it was strange that I corrected how they should say 'h' and 'z.'
