hmmm "Z"

Zed... See sounds so horrible like hach or ach 'H' def the latter is proper English...

I say zed. I thought zee was the American way of saying it. DD is learning her sounds in school and they are taught zed too.

haha my question grin asked because when I moved to Aus from NZ everyone said Zee and it dove me insane and how Aussie's pronounce the letter 'h' it gives me a twitch, I always say 'ach' but people tend to say it 'haaaaych' ooh and 'castle' is another one, I say it with a somewhat silent 't' some people say it 'cast-tle' but meh, my grandmother was an English teacher wink and I spent a few months in the UK so I tend to speak a bit British tongue

Crimson, I think ach is the nz way. I say hey-ch but dh gives me grief about it all the time. I'm British and tell him it's just coz I speak proper English. Lol. Z I say zed most of the time but if singing the alphabet it's zee. As someone else said zed doesn't rhyme with v (or c or me) so it has to be zee. Lol.

Another one dh gives me grief about is yoghurt (I pronounce yog-urt, he says yo-git and it drives me insane. Lol. There's more but I can't recall at mo. Lol.

How about zeb-ra (I hate zeee-bra) and to-ma-toe (I hate to-may-to). Lol.

I say zed
