Skully has a point. Where did the english language come from? Maybe England. Back then only ZED existed. But, our 'new world' of America has made up quite a bit of its own slang from the English language. That's how we got Zee. It is correct in America to say Z!

Let's please not get started on the who rules what. So that being said!! Lets focus on something else, hey, how much does a zed or Z weigh?? And when I am finished putting my Z or ZED back together, I will kick all the other Z's or Zed's a$$'s. And hey, if 2 280 ZX's leave a station both going 200 MPH, where and when will they meet?? The answer is who cares!! I say potatoe, you say potato, you say ZED and I say Z. Really people

To bring this thread back from the dead....
Anyone seen the new "Nissan A to Z" commercials on TV? I'm pretty sure when they show the 350Z.... he says "ZEE."
and another thought (not being sarcastic):
Do the Brits / Aussies say the letter T "ted" or D "ded" or E "ed" ???

Does anyone else notice that I commonly refer to my "Zee" as a Zed? Huh? HUH?
I give love to the Canadian brothers on this board, and others.
