We got this in the States


When I lived in New Mexico, this came on our PBS station. My sister loved it, but it wasn't my cup of tea. If anything, Polka Dot Door taught me everyone else in the world pronounces the letter Z as 'zed'.

LOL, no, only Canadians do. I think it's the French way to say it, but Canadians adopted it. I could be wrong though... don't think I've ever seen a Brit say zed. :P

Yep they say 'zed'. I have watched a few English TV shows and heard them say it.

I say zee and I'm in Canada. Sounds better when you sing the "now I know my abc song"

In french

doobleve = w
ikx = x
eegrek = y
zed = z (so it's possible it comes from french or the american way is the newer way)
