I tried catching zeds, but they were too heavy, fell on my head like lumps of lead, breaking my bed.
Now, I stick with zees, light as a breeze; they float freely out the window, through the trees.

Canadian English is Queen's English. Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John Alexander MacDonald, insisted on the proper use of British spelling. In Canada, it does not do to write and talk like an American. Speak like a proper Brit when you can. And go wog the telly - not the frickin' TV!

Come and listen to a story ‘boot the letter Zed,
That’s what it’s called, so Canadians have said.
And then one day, there’s a beaver on TV,
Telling their kids to pronounce it as a ‘zee’.

Grey is still a colour, though Canadian newspapers only recently revived the "u."
It's time to reassert the simple truth that Modern American English is closer to the English of 1600 than Modern British English. Yes, Noah Webster dropped the "u" - but he did so because it was a recently-added affectation, adopted because 18th century Brits had decided it was stylish to pretend to be French.

Vive le narcissisme des petites différences!
They even use different fingers to pick their noses in Canada! Ask a border guard so you don't get it wrong.
And you have to take language classes to get the accent right, or you'll be deported. Just being neurotically precise in pronunciation just isn't enough anymore!

The surveys show people under 30 use Zee.
Don't worry, it's just that the under-30's realize that Canada's "not even a real country anyway." ;-)

Noah Webster made it official when he put Zee in his dictionary in 1828. That's because Webster went out of his way to differentiate American English from British English.
To: Clive
It’s ‘Z’ as in ‘Zee’, and only the brain dead say ‘Zed’.
