I hear many different people (Mostly on YouTube) say the letter Z differently.
They say it as either ?Zee? or ?Zed? (Now personally, I say it as ?Zee?, but I believe people say it differently in different countries. Though, I?m not too sure)

But how do you pronounce Z? Tell me please in either the poll, by posting or both.
 
I say it "Zee" which is odd because I live in a country where most people say it "Zed". I don't know why I started saying it like that, but for some reason it felt more natural, even from a young age.
 
I can't say I've had to pronounce the letter 'Z' in English a whole lot. In Dutch I just say 'zet', but in English I guess it can go either way.
 
I say "zed" I live in the UK so that's how I've been brought up to say it c:
 
I think it's fascinating the letter Z is pronounced Zed is some places. Not that I have anything wrong with it, lol, it's just I didn't realize it until maybe, like, 5 or so years ago.
 
Zed, that's what I was taught and honestly I just get confused when people say "zee" or **** lol
 
Well I know in German (and prob many other languages) it's pronounced "Zed", and I learned in my Spanish class that it's pronounced "Zeta". In (American) English I was always told it's pronounced "Zee" so that's how I've always said it.
 
Neither, but zed is closest ?\_(ツ)_/?
 
I'm American so I've always said "Zee" but when I hear people on TV say "Zed" I think it sounds cool. I watch a lot of British television so I hear it quite often.
 
Well, I use both pronunciations. German is my native language and here I pronounce it as "Zed".
In English however, I always say "Zee".
 
Always pronounce it as “Zee”. I didn’t even know people pronounced it as “Zed,” lmao. Which part of “Zed” is stressed the most when pronounced that way?
