Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Canadians are weird. I always laughed when Dr. Rodney McKay on Stargate: Atlantis would call a zero point module a ZedPM. Sounds like a nighttime drug.
Jesus_lol Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 its always Zed, unless i am singing the alphabet song. cause then it rhymes!
Varg Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Zed, except when talking about "ZZ Top" Edited November 9, 2009 by Varg
Jesus_lol Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 [color="#000000"]actually i think Varg has completely answered the question correctly. it just sounds so much cooler. like with motorbikes and cars model numbers etc like with this bike, the Kawasaki Z1000. [img]http://www.kawasaki-z1000-web.de/kawasaki-z1000-img/kawasaki_z1000.jpg[/img] its cooler in canada because it is a ZED ONETHOUSAND. whereas in the states it just sounds like a poofy european bike, "zee onetowsand" ja?[/color]
Varg Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Canadians say poof too? Awesome. You guys are so much cooler than Americans ^.^ (But European bikes aren't poofy >.>)

Nihil Obstat Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Ooh, that was a good point. ZZ Top may retain their nonstandard usage.
Varg Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Although I did pronounce it "Zed Zed Top" at first

StColette Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Zee The word "Zed" makes me think of a Redneck lol
CatherineM Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I'm in a mixed marriage. One Zee and one Zed.
