Poll: How do you pronounce the letter "z"?

[InfiniteSingularity]

Zed cause I'm aussie. But it should be zee, cause then the alphabet song rhymes properly

 

[BabyRaptor]

It's Zee.

I heard someone say Zii once. (Like 'eye' but with a Z attached to it.)

 

[Halceon]

Zē. [ze:] As most latvians do.

 

[SSoSFAGTiaCaGwaP]

Also hate when people pronounce H as "Hey-ch"

wait, how do you say it then cus i have never heard it called anything else?

I pronounce it "Ayche". Like the way you pronounce it, but without the "H".

 

[DJDarque]

Zee. Both are correct. One is not more correct than the other. It's a cultural difference. Get over it.

 

[Saulkar]

ZED. I am right thus your argument is invalid.

 

[Captain_Fantastic]

kind of like an "S" but with a bit of a hum behind it

 

[Canned Spam]

Zed, since it is right. All of my friends say zee thou, which drives me insane.

 

[Wolfhowl the shadow lurker]

zed because it kind of sounds like zombie

 

[hazabaza1]

Zed.
Though if I'm feeling jiggy I'll call it zizzle.

 

[Pearwood]

Zed. Cause I'm not American. Not really any greater reason than that.

They are interchangeable to me. I'll call it the letter zed but also say the alphabet goes from a to zee.

Consistency is for the stable minded.

EDIT: I picked other for the lack of a "both" option.

Zed. You know, like near-enough the rest of the entire English-speaking world, and similar to how most Indo-European languages pronounce it too (derived of course from "zeta").

To me, "zee" sounds like it was made up by someone incapable of pronouncing "zed" or "zeta" properly. Hopefully it was because they didn't have a functional tongue, and not just because they were too lazy to use it.

 

[Andalusa]

I alternate between 'zed' and 'zee' although it's usually pronounced 'zed' in jolly ol' England.

 

[Sentox6]

I'm from New Zealand and no one I know around here calls it "zed" so yeah.

I'm from New Zealand and no one I know around here calls it "zee" so... yeah.

 

[Aethren]

Zee because that's the right way.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

This is the first I've ever heard of it being pronounced any other way besides "Zee"

That's because you're American.

Good ol' zed.

 

[Endocrom]

Zee.

How about the number 0?

I've heard Eddie Izzard and other europeans say "not" instead of "zero" Is that common?

"five, four, three, two, one, not, then what?" (on the B.C. A.D. changover)

I believe they pronounce it "naught"
