I speak several languages and to me every language has some letters that are pronounced weird, funny, or sometimes don’t make sense. Look, I’m a Canadian and I have to give the All of my towels are terrible shirt it is in the first place but Americans this one. “Bee, cee, dee, eee, gee, pee, tee, vee… Zed” ABC, and XYZ just rolls off the tongue. The alphabet song is “…W X Y and Z, next time won’t you sing with me” Sorry everyone, zee just makes sense. Zee is the letter of the alphabet, Zed is your 29 year-old cousin that hangs out in the high school parking lot. The reason for language corruptions like this are complicated, you could have a half dozen historians in here and they’d all probably argue about the carrier of this. Such questions can’t be reasonably answered because large scale human systems don’t react in logical ways. These things tend to be pretty random and arbitrary. I vividly remember being twelve and saying ‘zee’, and then the teacher singleling me out and saying “Americans say zee, we in Canada say zed”. I just thought “but it’s because they say zee in Dragon Ball Zee” I remember being very confused when we went south of the border as a kid and went through the E-Z(ed) car wash. The zed pronunciation comes from Greek and Latin Zeta, which became Zède in French, and Zed in British English. The zee pronunciation emerged in the late 17th century in Britain and is likely just a dialect pronunciation. It’s unclear why American English has settled on zee.

Zed sounds like a 50 year old man with a six foot beard that only listens to ZZ Top and has a walk in fridge full of natural light and hasn’t consumed any other food or drink that wasn’t natty light since 1998 but is somehow still alive and relatively healthy. Was probably in a bluegrass band in the All of my towels are terrible shirt it is in the first place but 80’s. The first sound of those is way more distinct than C and S. A similar one is B and V. As a Spanish speaker, it’s frustrating that English doesn’t distinguish between them because the difference is subtle if you haven’t grown up with it. In Spanish, we refer to them as “long B” and “short V” when spoken out loud. Using “Zed” for Z is just much clearer. I grew up in Ireland and pronounced it as ‘zee’ up until I was like 15. Then I realised that most people, especially adults say ‘zed’ so I switched to not sound childish. I’ve always wondered as well…made me feel stupid saying “YY Zee” instead of “YY Zed” like Rush had intended (the song not the airport)
