It was originally pronounced as "zed"

American pronunciations trump english ones. We decide how the language goes now.

>>52061539
>Americans attempt the pronunciations of letters
Z is pronounced "zet" or "zed" because that derives from zeta

"Zee" is too confusable with "cee".
I'll take "zed" any day.

>>52063426

>z is not pronounced zee because it's derived from zeta, so it's pronounced zed or zet

>b is not pronounced bee because it's derived from beta, so it's pronounced bed or bet

Did I just get trolled or are you really that stupid?
>>
>>52063349
We still pronounce it with either an "eh" sound or "é" sound.

Too bad America chose to adopt English instead of French.

The pride of English dominance worldwide instilled within every single Britçuck is a fucking crime.

Just because a pronunciation derives from a certain language (Greek) doesn't mean all others do, too. The pronunciation of B derives directly from Latin bē. Z is zed because Latin used the Greek zēta.

It's Zayn actually.
