Comment on Add it to the pile of reasons to hate 'em
str82L@lemmy.world 4 days agoI’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.
