All of the Canadian youtubers that I watch pronounce the letter z as “zi”, as is done in the United States. However, I have read online that it is more common for Canadians to pronounce it as “zed”, as is done in the United Kingdom. Is this a regional thing? How do you pronounce the letter z?


Zed if I refer to the letter itself, but if it’s part of a phrase, like “Gen Zee” etc. I will use that.
Ahh, i see, thank you! i think this was the majority of where my confusion lie.
I intentionally always use zed. Sure it doesn’t rhyme in American-created sayings and acronyms, but I’ll continue to say z instead.
