That Guy said: 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! |
You ignored my page showing there are more English speakers outside of America than in America didn't you?
Also you're misusing de-facto, de-facto basically means 'in practice' which would imply that everybody uses one version even if another version is theoritically correct.
