Do english people actually say "zed" ? In French it is called "Zed" and pronounced "zzz".
We'd say World War " Zed " or Day "Zed" for exemple. But a zoo would be called a zoo not a "zedoo" haha ^^
Port it now !

Only Americans (or people who learnt English from Americans) pronounce z as zee. The rest of the English speaking world pronounces it as zed.
Zebra is not pronounced "zeebra". Just as "what" is not pronounced "double you hat" |

That's pretty much the ignorant response I expected. It's a zebra not a zeebra or a zedbra.

Also the letter Z is pronounced 'zed'. You can pronounce it as 'zee' or 'zzz' but you have to be 7 and still learning phonics. |

As an aside, when you see zzzzzz do you say "zeezeezeezeezee"? No, you say "zzzzzzz", so do we. The name of the letter is eiher Zee or Zed or whatever, but everyone SAYS zzzzzz. |

I'm going to say something.
There is this thing called change.
it effects pretty much everything.
and just because something changes does not mean that thing is wrong.
it is the reason we are not all still speaking a combination of latin and germanic.
so yes americans use a 'newer' version of the same language that the people of the UK do, but that does not mean that they are inherently wrong.
it is merely different.

:) Agreed. Just because something is different doesn't make it wrong.
However, the reason it's different is because Americans have taken it on themselves to "reform" the English language, a goal which is pointless, as the English language, by evolution, is a hodgepodge of bits from any number of different languages, most of them European, growing and adding to itself every single day. Noone has a hope of "reforming" such a fluid language. It would be like herding catz (sorry deadcatz...).
And in point of fact, we ARE indeed mostly "still speaking a combination of latin and germanic". Even the "reforms" haven't eliminated this, because we would have to invent entirely new words to replace the old ones.
But the thing that makes it really wrong is when they try to inflict their "corrected version" of English on the rest of the English speaking world, as if it's something they've invented, or done us a service by. I have no problem with new versions of anything. I make up new words every day to express myself. That doesn't make the words I use correct, and I don't inflict my version on everyone else. |

If my attempt at pointing out a contrast of ideas was too advanced and sailed over your head, my apologies. This may be easier for you:
Cars drive on right side, brits decided they wanted to drive on the left. And no one in the world gave a ****.
People in English speaking countries said 'zed', Americans thought it was pointless to do so and stopped. And no one in the world gave a ****.
Point being, no one gives a **** what your opinion is of how someone in another country says a word or letter as it doesn't effect a damn thing in this special little place I know of called 'real life'. You should check it out, go spray some WD40 on your door hinges and open it. You might be surprised, there's neat stuff out there.
Also, just because you aren't capable of grasping a system of volumes and measurements that's not based on 10 doesn't mean those who use other means aren't capable of grasping the most simple, easy to use measuring system ever invented.

We'd say World War " Zed " or Day "Zed" for exemple. But a zoo would be called a zoo not a "zedoo" haha ^^
looks like we are the only one in Italy where we read both the "Z" (Zeta in italian) like in the word "Zebra" and we also read it like the "ts" of Tsunami, for example in the italian word stazione ( read: statsione).

How exactly? I didn't resort to insults because of something that, quite clearly, wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I couldn't give 2 sh!ts about what system people use or what side of the road they drive on, don't insult people when they reply to a comment in almost the exact way you did previously.

Wow you are taking things waaaaaaaaay too seriously bro... I would say "were on an item net forum act like an adult" however now I'm gonna tell you to act more like a child because you seem very serious about a dumb thing.

Ah, how contempt festers when one rules the world. U.S.A. now equals the default. We must begin the hard journey to educate the rest of the world in the new ways.
You must unlearn what you have learned. Do or do not; there is no try. I fear Britain is too old to begin this training.

I am an American and I can almost guarantee that my family reached 100% literacy in English before your family did. Just because you followed Johnson and we went with Webster does not entitle you to any sort of claim on the language.
You can use Quebec French as an example of speaking a "proper" form of a language.
Samuel Johnson's dictionary is tainted by verbal nonsense.

There is this thing called change.
it effects pretty much everything.
and just because something changes does not mean that thing is wrong.
it is the reason we are not all still speaking a combination of latin and germanic.
so yes americans use a 'newer' version of the same language that the people of the UK do, but that does not mean that they are inherently wrong.
it is merely different.
:) Agreed. Just because something is different doesn't make it wrong. However, the reason it's different is because Americans have taken it on themselves to "reform" the English language, a goal which is pointless, as the English language, by evolution, is a hodgepodge of bits from any number of different languages, most of them European, growing and adding to itself every single day. Noone has a hope of "reforming" such a fluid language. It would be like herding catz (sorry deadcatz...). And in point of fact, we ARE indeed mostly "still speaking a combination of latin and germanic". Even the "reforms" haven't eliminated this, because we would have to invent entirely new words to replace the old ones. But the thing that makes it really wrong is when they try to inflict their "corrected version" of English on the rest of the English speaking world, as if it's something they've invented, or done us a service by. I have no problem with new versions of anything. I make up new words every day to express myself. That doesn't make the words I use correct, and I don't inflict my version on everyone else.
The term is called dialect. Good grief man! Look up the term in a freaking dictionary. Case in point, different terms often mean different things in the same damn country, depending on what part of the country you are in. Look at the UK. Scottish folks, English folks, and Welsh folks, all speak English, but often speak it differently.
English is not the only language that has different dialects. There are different versions of Chinese. Spanish is also spoken differently among Spanish speaking countries. Mexican Spanish is different than Spanish from Spain, who invented the darn language.
Your argument makes no sense and is borderline prejudicial.

Grow up. Your really going with the 'your being defensive' line? Seriously? Ok, so there's being defensive as in defending your stance, actions, statements, beliefs, etc.; and there is being defensive, as in being defensive when it isnt warranted.
Such as: You: Somebody pooped near my pool. Person with you: IT WASNT ME.
As opposed to: You (looking pointedly at the person who I suspect):SOMEBODY pooped near my pool. Person with you: IT WASNT ME.
The first example was unwarranted defensiveness, the second was warranted. But yeah either way, accusing someone of being defensive is like saying "HA! now I have trapped you and you now have no fair chance of responding without being defending yourself again." Try as you like, to anyone with a 6th grade level of reading comprehension that kind of accusation only sticks when it's used in the proper context and right now it shakes off like water off a greased up rubber mat. So yes, I got JUSTIFIABLY defensive right when you decided to open your **** holster and make an idiotic remark about my comment.
Also, if you do not wish to be insulted do not cast aspersions about the intelligence of an individual who you know nothing about for no reason other than to edge a snide comment into a thread. I get irritable when some random peon wants to come make snide remarks when I make a simple comparison to a statement. Don't like my response? Then keep your comments to yourself or grow a thicker skin.
