All of the Canadian youtubers that I watch pronounce the letter z as “zi”, as is done in the United States. However, I have read online that it is more common for Canadians to pronounce it as “zed”, as is done in the United Kingdom. Is this a regional thing? How do you pronounce the letter z?
I have this nasty habit of correcting people when they say Zee when it is obviously Zed.
As a teacher, I’ve definitely corrected over a hundred students. I do check if they’re American first, though; like, fair enough if they are. But the Canadian pronunciation is zed.
Zee is better. Zed is a chore.
