Data/Dr. Soong= Canadian?

I never understood saying "zed", why does "Z" need the hard "D" sound added to it?

How do they pronounce a word like "zebra" do they say "zedbra"?

How do you pronounce the letter W?


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?"

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.

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!

Still, "zee" rhymes better.

Aussies say "zed", too.

I'm Canadian, born in Ottawa on the 2nd of July at 12:42 A.M, so without daylight's savings time I'd have been born on Dominion day, I also served in the Canadian Army (never saw combat) and I hate saying "zed". I say "zee"
The reason I mentioned that crap about when and where I was born and all that is because I know some Canadian will come along later and say I'm not a real Canadian for saying "zee". It's happened before.

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 Haven't heard Canada Day called that since I was looking at historical documents when I worked at a museum.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

In french, the letter Z sound zed, so when we speak english we also say zed
