  Oh, and that’s pronounced “z”, not ”z”!

  At least we don’t pronounce it “zed”

    You deserve more downvotes for this

    How dare Americans pronounce it as (constant sound)-ē like b, c, d, g, p, t, and v instead of its correct pronunciation as one of 2-3 consonants that aren’t just their sound preceded or followed by a vowel sound /s

    That being said, my takes on alphabet pronunciation are total batshit, I have beef with H and Q

      Dang, I really struck a nerve huh? My bad, it was just meant as a playful jab.

        You’re good, no nerve struck here, just being melodramatic for fun =)

        Quite frankly, I’m not sure why your comment is getting downvoted so much XD

  I use American English for the superior compression algorithms and the more extensive import features.
