*sigh* This is stupid. Like to-may-to/to-mah-to and color/colour. Get it into your damn fool heads, people pronounce things differently in different places.

The letter Z and its pronunciation came well before the modern alphabet, let alone the alphabet song. Different languages and dialects pronounce it differently and it has nothing to do with making the song rhyme.

If non-Americans and some British pronounce is "zed" then is zebra pronounced zed-ebra? Or is zen pronounced zed-en?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Please note that although he is American and clearly stupid, we are not all like that in America :)

*clears throat* Please note that I'm a female. Also add to your notes that this question was not to be taken seriously, I am quite far from stupid. I may say something that may not convey what I intended, but I do not consider that the same as having low intelligence.

So do non-Americans and some British people not have "jokes" either? I was almost certain they did

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh we have jokes, it's just that ours are actually funny.

you are a bitch

by Anonymous 13 years ago

just sayin, europeans were inbreeding long before america was even discovered... so yeah...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And Americans (most of them anyway) trace there heritage back to these Europeans. So I guess that means we're all inbred?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ok, your comment actually made me laugh a little bit because: A) Inbreds freak me out a little, so it's a little ironic that you chose to call me that. B) An inside joke that's far too funny for you.

No. You don't pronounce zen as zee-en, do you? Didn't think so. It's zen everywhere. We do pronounce zebra differently though. You say zee-bra, we say zeb-ra.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Zeb-ra sounds so much better with the "short" e.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Indeed it does.

zee came about because of sesame street. most countries pronounce it zed, except lots of people grew up with sesame street who made the alphabet song, so they think it's zee not zed. zee is an american thing
