They should go all the way: Zed Ped Med.

Y'know, Zed completely ruins that ABC song.
W X Y and Zed
Now I know my ABC's next time won't you sing with ... Fred?

I don't get this. So when Europeans see a 0, they say "Zed-ro" instead of "Zee-ro"? And if they say "Zee-ro", then why would they suddenly change the sound of the letter Z just because it's by itself?

This is lunacy!

It's as bad as the "Con-tin-ooo-ity" garbage. What the hell is a "Con-tin-ooo"? The term refers to a continuous series events (i.e. continuum); it should therefore be "Continue-ity".
 
I don't know what this ZPM is to which you refer, but as an American I learned it as zee. I do find your quaint, anachronstic "zed" quite charming, however. You third-world countries are adorable what with your royalty and your warm beer and all.
