"Lost" Alice 205 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I'm one of those annoying people that talks about their favorite video game(s) a lot.Has this happened to you? Halfway though the conversation the person you're talking to finally asks why you're talking so fanatically about killer plant life, and then asks if it's anything like Plants VS Zombies.This has happened to me in 3 different conversations I swear, and I don't know how to get around it without sounding like some OCD spelling nazi.

Snowkea 10 Posted February 24, 2013 Call it DayZed then. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I call it Day Zee even though I say "zed" everywhere else.I've heard some people call it "days", and that just sounds weird...Edit: actually Day Zed makes sense since they're zeds, not zees, no one calls zombies zees. And no I don't care about the etymology of the game title, the Z stands for zombie in my books, sue me. Edited February 24, 2013 by Gews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Powell (DayZ) 734 Posted February 24, 2013 American here, call it Day Zee. No one seems to question it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuySavage 0 Posted February 24, 2013 "Zed" is the primary pronounciation of the letter 'Z', "Zee" is secondary. I have never understood why everyone calls it "Day Zee". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussiestig 681 Posted February 24, 2013 I call it Day Zee even though I say "zed" everywhere else.I've heard some people call it "days", and that just sounds weird...Edit: actually Day Zed makes sense since they're zeds, not zees, no one calls zombies zees. And no I don't care about the etymology of the game title, the Z stands for zombie in my books, sue me.You'd think it would be Day Zed with that reasoning, but recently in a tweet, dean said he calls it "DayZee". There isn't a specific way of saying it though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klesh 2423 Posted February 24, 2013 Daisy has the accent on the "Dā" sound. DayZ should have the accent on the "Zēē" sound. DAIsy / dayZ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

svisketyggeren 662 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I think Daisy is a proper name for the game on servers that run crosshair on, 3rd person on, daytime only, 100+ vehicles and some custom loadout where u basically have everything u needUr playing Daisy Edited February 24, 2013 by svisketyggeren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uuni 74 Posted February 24, 2013 DayZee. I used to call it DayZed but that was just too much of a drag in the long run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakka 28 Posted February 24, 2013 I always thought that the "Z" in day DayZ stood for day zero. Day zero is everyone's starting pointing the game and it is one of the only things you see when you spawn in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blindingsun 233 Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) In the English language, in which we're speaking. Z is pronounced Zed.However. With the game. I pronounce it DayZeeZee is an american-english-ism. Edited February 24, 2013 by Blindingsun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blaxar 7 Posted February 24, 2013 American here, call it Day Zee. No one seems to question itI agree. Also, if they think your saying "daisy" then your saying to fast. Say it with a slight pause in between Day and Z. I've never been asked or questioned by anyone thinking that I'm talking about a plant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjkproductions 12 Posted February 24, 2013 Same. After talking about it for fifteen minutes, they'll say "Dude, why the fuck would any of us want to play a game called Daisy?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatfieldcw 184 Posted February 25, 2013 I always use the American "zee" and have never had problems with people thinking I'm saying "Daisy". As others have noted, though, people periodically perk up and try to talk about Jay-Z, which is always fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
