    How do you pronounce the letter W? :p


    What I don't understand about using "zed" is how it affects the Alphabet Song!

    "...W, X, Y, and Zed...next time won't you sing with Fred?" :confused:

    Yeah... maybe that's part of the reason why I've always said "zee" instead of "zed".

    Between that and the fact that I don't like hockey, I'm really quite a terrible Canadian. :lol:

    It's not as bad with the customary "now I've said my ABC's, next time won't you sing with me" but I think "Zee" works better with the flow overall.

    Hmmm...yep, I totally forgot that line! :lol:

    Still, "zee" rhymes better.

    Aussies say "zed", too.

    Heh, Dominon Day. Haven't heard Canada Day called that since I was looking at historical documents when I worked at a museum.

    I figured it had a nice ring to it since we're on a Trek board.
