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 just did some searching, and cannot confirm what I thought was true. I’ve no idea where I picked it up because I’ve thought that was the case for decades now. Man, do I feel clueless. Sorry for the confusion. TIL.
No worries! Those are some of my favourites: a long held belief with no basis in reality. It could be something you misinterpreted once and got locked away as a fact, or something an uncle or something could have said, and they were wrong. I’ve had a few of those myself where I’m like “where the hell did I even get that from…” 😛
