Zed = The "proper" pronunciation of the letter "Z" in virtually every english speaking country outside the U.S.

"Zed" is just the pronunciation of the character/letter "Z". Kind of like how "W" is pronounced "double-yoo" (heh, or "dub-ya")

Weird, Lots Of Americans Say Ruf, That Ive Heard. If Anyone Remembers The Tv Show "hometime" They Were Famous For Ruf, And That Hit Police Show "cops". Good To See Your All Normal Talkin' Folks. I Think The Only Thing I Say Weird In The American Vocabulary Is Zed!! I Even Spell Stuff The American Way Because The European (or Canadian) Way Looks Weird, And Could Be Said Different Than It Is Spelled. Lets Blame It On The Europeans. Take The Blame From The Canadians, Make Us Famous For Our Beer Or Something.
