kichilron 8550 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/16/an-interview-with-rocket-creator-of-day-z/ RPS: Are we calling it “day-zee” or “Day Zed”?Hall: Day-zee, we went with – I actually think the name is terrible, and I came up with it. It was really just a working name originally, but it started as a working name and now it has stuck. It’s grown on me as someone came up with a new logo and so on. So perhaps it’s not too bad.

WrecklessMEDIC 129 Posted April 28, 2014 I pronounce it Day-Zee even though in Canada we're supposed to say Zed. When I showed it to some friends of mine they thought it was pronounced simply Days, like Days of Our Lives or something./shakes head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pillock 850 Posted April 28, 2014 The lad Dean Hall pronounces it "Die-Zay". I've seen him do it. Heard him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquidsnake 275 Posted April 28, 2014 I pronounce Z as zed, but DayZ as Day Zee. Day Zed just sounds wrong to me, while it'd be logical to pronounce it that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murlough 192 Posted April 28, 2014 Day zed. This is unacceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hells high 676 Posted April 28, 2014 Even if you live in a place where where Z is "zed" it would technically be "Day Zee", as that is the name given to it by the creators. Either way, who cares what you call it. ;P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I still thing DayZ is a shitty name for this. It's only implied what it's indicative of. Or we had to assume for ourselves (Day of the Zombies, Day Zero, etc). Either way, I still like this game despite its rather silly name.

Valadain 270 Posted April 29, 2014 My ancestors fought a war so I wouldn't have to say zed or ride a lift. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katana67 2907 Posted April 29, 2014 Day Zee all day. I still maintain that us over here in the colonies speak English in the most correct manner that exists today, as opposed to those guttersnipes across the pond. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katana67 2907 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) LOL wut? Just a subtle jab at our Commonwealth cousins. Really, is pronounced... reel-ee. That is what it is, just phonetically, that is how it's pronounced. Not REAL-EHHH, as some kinda' grubby Midlands (used to live there) cowgirl would say. In other news, I'm sure some folks in the UK could tear apart most accents coming out of Dixie these days. Edited April 29, 2014 by Katana67 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Landhund 14 Posted April 29, 2014 When I just talk about it with someone who knows it, I call it day-zee. But when I explain the game to someone who doesn't know it yet, I say "day-zee, or day-zed, depending how you want to say it,...". I think of it as some sort of inside-joke; when someone who doesn't know it listens to me talking about the game he probably thinks: "daisy, zombies, survival? Da-hell is he talking about?!"Irritating strangers ftw!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeansie 37 Posted April 29, 2014 I'm English so I say 'Zed' but I say Day Zee because it sounds better than Day Zed tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
