All of the Canadian youtubers that I watch pronounce the letter z as “zi”, as is done in the United States. However, I have read online that it is more common for Canadians to pronounce it as “zed”, as is done in the United Kingdom. Is this a regional thing? How do you pronounce the letter z?

    I have not yet encountered a Canadian who says “zi” the way I do. I’ve worked at schools here with ages from 12 to 22 and all of the students have said “zed” as well as every teacher and co-workers I’ve had.
