You ignored my page showing there are more English speakers outside of America than in America didn't you?


Wait, you mean there are people outside of America? 


I saw one once. It came up to me and made noises but I couldn't understand. You also have to watch really carefully incase they nick your wallet.

so how to do you guys in the commonwealth sleep?

In america we denote the sleeping sound as "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

In Commonwealth nations, do you say I gotta go catch some Zeds? or do you go "zedzedzedzedzedzed"?

weird.

If I said "Mmmmmmmmm that smells nice" I wouldn't pronounce it as emememememem, infact what you say is like saying we are all supposed to pronounce things with every sound of the letter included, kinda like saying 'Hello' as 'Haycheelelo'.


In fact, I'll build off that, do you say "zzzzzzzzzzzzz" as "Zeezeezeezeezeezeezeezee" as you assume we'd say Zedzedzedzedzedzed....

Surely the point has been taken by now =)

What about the casual form of "Mother"?

I noticed that many English people say "mum" while in America we say "mom".

Personally I think "mum" sounds weird but that's just my opinion. :P

Zed. And Mum.

I say the correct pronunciation is "zee" because "zed" doesn't actually fit in the alphabet with the sounds of the other letters where as "zee" shares the same sound as c, e, d, t, p etc.

Knowing that, I still call it a nissan 350zed though.

I say Zed. That's what we say in Australia.
I still some times say "Zee" but Zed is the proper way.

The correct usage is that of the nation the language originated from.

 So we should all be using zeta? Isn't that what this specific word originated as? :)

Edit: Zee btw.

What I thought was strange was the first time I heard "Happy Christmas"! I was like WTF? It's "Merry Christmas!" you bastard! (at the tv screen of course ;-p )

I've always said Zee and I will always say Zee. Zed sounds strange...
