Is it a Zed... or a Zee?

[240znz]

Have a look at my user name and sig, that says it all (and always to be read with a large bucket of well rounded sense of humour close at hand...or is that humor?)

No matter how it is pronounced, it will always be a Z.

Welcome.

Ham Radio!! My deceased father in law call sign was ZLIALH. To me thats a ZED.

Ham radio, phonetic alphabet. not that it helps any cause....

Z = Zulu......

Z for me. It is only Alfa Romeo driving hairdressers that calla Z a Zee.

I drove an Alfa, have no hair to dress, don't dress anyone else's hair, but I still annunciate a "Z" to rhyme with B, C, D, E, G, P, T, and V.

Welcome speedtripper and that's a good question that has come up before regarding Zee or Zed. It's all good; the cars themselves differ substantially around the globe, so why not the way we refer to them as well? I don't believe I have ever heard the opinion of a native Japanese speaker on this question. How would that equate?

I guess when all is said and done, as long as we understand each other is what really matters. Hood or bonnet, trunk or boot, wrench and spanner, rockers and tappets.the list is long. :classic:

This question came up once before and I'll answer it now the same way I did then... Sing the ABC's song out loud to yourself and tell me how it ends.

[cygnusx1]

it ends with "meeee." My wife is calling a shrink now. :stupid:

Why do you think I said out loud? I knew SOMEBODY would do it. LOLLOLLOL
