  There’s no extra 'U’s. What you want is your right to exclude the 'U’s you don’t feel are necessary, it’s not the same thing. There was no need for the 'z’s but you guys couldn’t help yourselves could you!?

    Oh, and that’s pronounced “z”, not ”z”!

    I use American English for the superior compression algorithms and the more extensive import features.

    At least we don’t pronounce it “zed”

      You deserve more downvotes for this

      How dare Americans pronounce it as (constant sound)-ē like b, c, d, g, p, t, and v instead of its correct pronunciation as one of 2-3 consonants that aren’t just their sound preceded or followed by a vowel sound /s

      That being said, my takes on alphabet pronunciation are total batshit, I have beef with H and Q
