So why is it that whenever I watch the English TV show "Top Gear" or speak to a Canadian, they refer to the "Z" as a "Zed"...? It's always been just "Z" to me. Anyone have an answer? I sure don't know...........!

"Zed"


.

British people pronounce Z as Zed, its kinda cool actually. They also pronounce H's as well.

We actually pernounce is like "Zee" which is not all that different from "Zed". The letter Z really sounds more like "Zzz".
