Uhh...what? Am I the only one who has no clue what this topic’s about? Lol

I know Canadians say “zed” and not “zee” like Americans, but this is one of the more confusing topics I’ve seen on FR.

This would explain why Zed Zed Top’s music was never very popular in Canada.

FABIENNE: Butch, whose motorcycle is this?
BUTCH: It’s a chopper.
FABIENNE: Whose chopper is this?
BUTCH: Zed’s.
FABIENNE: Who’s Zed?
BUTCH: Zed’s dead, baby, Zed’s dead.

And it's happening fast. Only seven years have passed since Molson's Joe Canadian first electrified us with his belief "that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal. "A tuque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced Zed not Zee. Zed!"

Ah yes, the Molson "I Am Canadian" guy. That would be the same guy who high-tailed it for Los Angeles the moment his "I Am Canadian" ads made him famous and he was actually able to get in the door for some serious auditions.

I’m over 30, I grew up saying zee. Zed seems kinda silly.
