How do you pronounce the letter "Z"?



I was watching a Youtube video from The Curiosity Show (an Australian educational children TV program) and I was caught off guard by the host using "zed" when talking about letters. Imagine singing the U.S. alphabet song and ending with "zed", lol. But apparently, "zed" is more etymologically correct as it traces back to the Greek word "zeta".

It depends on the language. I usually pronounce it as "zee."

My job requires that I give drivers trailer numbers over the phone and "zee" sounds way too close to "cee", and it's not PC to use "zulu" as the alphanumeric anymore, so I have to use "zed". That habit has carried over into everyday life.

Wow! What a coincidence!

I don't understand the question.

How do you, personally, pronounce the letter by itself. For example, i as in eye.

Arguably, all language is code to make your words clear.
