In the spirit of asking questions, do english people actually say "zed" instead of "zee" when they're talking about the letter "z" or is that just jokingly?
It's a joke. We say zee.

I also greatly enjoy the British accent.
Errr... English people say 'zed' not 'zee'

Why not say "British" english or "proper" english. English english just makes you sound like an uneducated twit.
Because a truly educated person would know that referring to any form of English as "proper" is like looking at several piles of feces and claiming one is better smelling and tasting then the rest, and although it may be true, in the end it's still crap.
Whoehahahaha, Dude that was great I wish this would have been a real life conversation. Because the other guys face must have been priceless.

Thumbs up to you.

Apparently it's a joke Canada missed out on then, as we say "zed".

Or at least I do...
We do say "zed", it's not a joke, I believe the first response was a joke that somewhat failed.

Is this a plot to get some people banned? Urgh... And what do you mean by "English English"? Shouldn't it just be English, and your version be American English?
