de-facto means most commonly used.

HD-DVD may have come first, but Blu Ray came along and was more commonly used, so now its the de-facto standard in the english language =))))

Likewise, zed may have come first, but now there are more zee speakers

I cannot speak for other languages, so if its pronounced Zed in dutch or french or whatever, then more power to you!

 

There are more British English speakers than the 'American' English speakers in the world. The de-facto way is zed.

There are roughly 2 billion people in the Commonwealth, there are roughly 300 million in the U.S.

It is 'zed,' not the pathetic butchering that is 'zee.'
