And they just love to add unnecessary U’s to everything while they sip their tea with their fucking pinkies up.

Not listening to countries that say “zed” for the letter z.
Bed, ced, ded, ed, ged, ped, ted, ved? No? Zee.

Would you also like us to say aee, fee, hee, jee kee, lee, mee, nee, oee, qee, ree, see, uee, wee, xee and yee?

Are those letters that make the same “ee” sound when you pronounce the letter on its own?

I’m suggesting that if you take your logic and apply it to all the letters equally, you’ll end up with the changes I listed. If that seems wrong, then the case for consistency isn’t as strong as you first suggested.

I understood what you were suggesting, it was just weak.
Americans say “zee”, which is comparable to the letters I gave as examples.
between zee and zed, zee makes more sense with it being inline with other letter’s pronunciations. What does zed come from?
Admittedly, I do not know the history of the character’s development.
