People keep thinking I'm saying "Daisy"

[Deetwo 69]

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.

Haven't you heard? You can do both now.

Carry around a piece of paper in your pocket with "DayZ" written on it.

The way I solve this problem: Instead of flowing my speech normally like I would, I create a short pause between Day and Z, almost as if to say Day-Z.

Okay I hope this isn't a topic hijack but people should start listing how they say it, and where they are from. Maybe there is a correlation between regional dialects and the pronunciation of the word?

DayZed: Scotland - This is how all my friends say it too, unless they are singing,"I'll have to shoot you, cos this is day zee"

I call it Day Zed now, because as other members have stated, the zombies are Zeds, it just seems to make more sense.

Not at all! I'm actually curious about it too
