Zed or Zee

As a Canadian do you say Zed or Zee. It's Zed for me, always sounds funny to me when someone says Zee.

That is certainly well zed. Selfish plug (I can't resist). Seriously though the rest of the planet refers to it as Zed.

I call it zed.

In Canada it's Zed
In the UK it's Zed
In the US it's Zee...

Americans like to be different.

all of my Canadian customers and friends call it a Zed, nothing wrong with that. The rest of the world pronounces NIS-SAN, we call it NEE- SAHN

For canadians saying eh is like the punctuation at the end of a sentence sometimes you need an "eh" to finish it off sometimes you don't
