JIMMY1 1 Posted July 18, 2012 Im Australian, as a letter i would say Z as "zed" and H as "ey-ch" ("aitch"?)but if the title is "day-zee", Il say zee (same as DBZ) I mean Z or Zed, it still makes the zzz sound in the alphabet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMoodyOne 1 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Just to point it out to everyone (thanks to the joy of QI and Stephen Fry) an earlier poster was entirely correctThe American version of the English language is actually closer to the "Original" English language than "Queens" EnglishBasically in the 19th century when relations with the US were "poor" the British Empire decided it didn't like the fact the US spoke the same language and so they "tarted" the language up making it "posher" - this involved adding U to a number of words and changing the sound of others (including zee to zed) - the idea was to make "English" English sound posher and more refined than the US English...Oh and I'm British before people think this is some US "propaganda" Edited July 18, 2012 by TheMoodyOne 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duddbudda 33 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) in the 19th century when relations with the US were "poor" the British Empire decided it didn't like the fact the US spoke the same language and so they "tarted" the language up making it "posher" - this involved adding U to a number of words and changing the sound of others (including zee to zed) - the idea was to make "English" English sound posher and more refined than the US Englishyour arse is talking bud: Merriam Webster phonetically systemised English spelling because he was a tad spergy - hence 'the centre's tantalising colour' getting a whole load of squiggly red underlining in my browseras for dialect, some Berkley students came on an exchange semester at out uni. Their accents received some ribbing, and one proudly rebutted 'we speak true English, as the colonists spoke'. A couple months later, having met various yorkshire folk, bristolians, brums, Londoners and norfolk chaps, they weren't so sure. (not to mention that the majority of north americans are of non-English heritage)I've also heard Australians make the exact same claim: we speak the true English, as the colonists spoke.

Weeman (DayZ) 1 Posted July 18, 2012 Im from New Zealand and I say Zee.... Just because your not in America doesnt mean you say Zed. I mean Zedbra sounds retarded Dragon Ball Zed sounds retarded. But when I see a zombie I would call it a Zed over a Zee. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katlord_kromdar 0 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Off topic, but I thought it was weird that in the movie Men In Black, which is clearly American, the agent played by Rip Torn, was called "Zed" by the others, instead of the American "Zee".I thought that was weird too.edit: infact I got a bit a confused about it.

JKflipflop 40 Posted July 23, 2012 I thought you pronounce a Z as "Zee". Hence, Day Zee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frodevil 15 Posted July 23, 2012 Z is for Zero, as in Day Zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdk761@hotmail.com 8 Posted July 23, 2012 Zed is correct in terms of the english language, but Zee sounds so much better for dayzee, as for what to call zombies, am i the only one who prefers to yell the whole word? much more dramatic :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallpaper42 4 Posted July 23, 2012 I watch a lot of Top Gear so I knew that zed is how people in the UK pronounce Z but I have never heard of zed meaning zombie though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChinWooMan 34 Posted July 23, 2012 I can't clearly find the difference.. Jesus are you kidding me? Complaing over this.Day-ZeeDay-Zedwho cares!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarin4med@gmail.com 10 Posted July 23, 2012 The first time I ever heard Zed was on Stargate Atlantis, where a Canadian character referred to something called a ZPM as a "Zed Pee Em", so I don't associate it with Zombies per se, but I do associate it with other-than-american pronunciations of the letter Zee. Not sure which countries follow this pronunciation rule, but I highly doubt it is everybody, since Rocket says Zee.This ^^ Also whenever I hear somebody say Zed I think of this clip. I do not and will never pronounce Z and Zed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
