minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•19 days agoNot listening to countries that say “zed” for the letter z. Bed, ced, ded, ed, ged, ped, ted, ved? No? Zee.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•18 days agoAre those letters that make the same “ee” sound when you pronounce the letter on its own?
minus-squarestr82L linkfedilinkEnglish2•18 days agoI’m suggesting that if you take your logic and apply it to all the letters equally, you’ll end up with the changes I listed. If that seems wrong, then the case for consistency isn’t as strong as you first suggested.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•18 days agoI understood what you were suggesting, it was just weak. Americans say “zee”, which is comparable to the letters I gave as examples. between zee and zed, zee makes more sense with it being inline with other letter’s pronunciations. What does zed come from? Admittedly, I do not know the history of the character’s development.
