What is the logic in calling it "zed"?

I say "zed". Americunts say "zee" because they can't pronounce English words correctly.

In what way, in your precious French/Norse creole, is THAT the correct pronunciation? Fucking idiot.

I say "zee" and I don't mind if other people say "zed" because I'm not an imposing cunt. Life goes on regardless.

The correct answer, by the way, was Zee. This is because the letter Z must rhyme with the letter V and C in the alphabet in order for the alphabet song to rhyme.
Thus, if Zed were correct, so too would be Ced and Ved.

That was an awful and totally incorrect justification.
It's still pronounced "Zee" though.

Well Zed Zed Top doesn't sound right, does it?
Neither does E-Zed Mart.
The whole foundation of America would collapse if it were pronounced zed. That's not to say 'zed' isn't correct, America was just built on a mistaken pronunciation.

> America was just built on a mistaken pronunciation.
Care to tell me why pronouncing the name of the letter Z in a way that is consistent with the pronunciation of the names of the other consonants is somehow incorrect?

It's really rich when those that can't even pronounce the letter R try and insult us for "mispronouncing" the name of the letter Z.

It isn't. Nor is Zed. There is no incorrect, ever. It's just a communication system. If it gets to different it just becomes a different language.

A timeless song of our youth. One sung in probably every English speaking country. Also I thought the explanation was, I don't know, cute, it made me smile. What's wrong with liking things that make you smile?
