Poll: Zed or Zee

[SonicKoala]

I say Zed, because that's just how you say it. Saying "zee" makes you sound like a queen.

 

[Mythbhavd]

I'm with the Zees.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Zed, and England.

Typical American response it seems, to always go for the easy way out like removing the dreaded U in such despicable words as colour and... others.

 

[Skeleon]

Zed, although I'm aware of the difference and try to use Zee where appropriate (example: ZZ Top). I'm from Germany.

 

[Aidinthel]

I'm usually really picky about the whole, dropping th U in colour and other Americanised spelling errors alternatives to English-English.

Such as our tendency to switch "s" for "zee" in words such as "Americanized."

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

Zed, unless it's in a phrase. For example, I pronounce the Starcraft matchup Zerg vs Zerg's abbreviation as Zee Vee Zee, because it rhymes and that's how I first heard it.

Zed for general use though. Canadian.

See now I was trying to think of another example and it just wouldn't come to me. Thank you for jogging my memory.

 

[WolfThomas]

Zed, to the point where I asked my housemate to turn off "that damn Jay-Zed music" because it was too loud.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I say Zee because New Zeeland sounds better then New Zedland

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Zee. Zed sounds like an alien's name for some reason.

 

[thePyro_13]

Zed, tis the way it was meant to be. However I clicked too fast and voted Zee be accident.

 

[Pegghead]

Here in Australia we pronounce it as Zed

Sorry Coach.

 

[fletch_talon]

Zee.

I prefer Zeta though. Zeta is badass.

What is that?

 

[Tharwen]

I'm partial to "Zee" myself.
I've yet to encounter anyone who pronounces it "Zed" O__O

Come to the UK.

 

[Beartrucci]

I say Zed, I'm Australian.

 

[delet]

Zee.

I prefer Zeta though. Zeta is badass.

What is that?

Zetta, the most badass overlord in the universe!

 

[Deef]

Zed. Cause I'm a fuckin' Canadian eh, and that's how we do it in Canada.

 

[Deef]

Here in Australia we pronounce it as Zed

Sorry Coach.

That made my evening. You my good sir have gained quite a lot a of respect from me.

 

[Dott]

Both.

Because both ways to pronounce this letter are correct.

 

[Dys]

It's zed in the english language, for some reasons Americans feel the need to change the language. I'm in Australia, we speak English, not American English so we say zed.
