[QUOTE="Bonky, post: 815301, member: 52815"] Thanks for the warm welcome; much appreciated The reason why ‘Z’ is pronounced as’Zed’ in the majority of the English-speaking world is that in the fields of aircraft and ship nav, not to mention airtraffic control, every vowel and consonant must sound different to any other, and the problem with 'Zee' is that it sounds very, very close to how the letter ‘C’ is pronounced. If the two are confused then a major catastrophe may ensue. Not worth arguing about. I know that a UK pop group called the SpiceGirls used ‘zee’ in their lyrics to complete a rhyme. That’s almost unheard of over here. Thanks again, Richard Sent from my iPhone [/QUOTE]
