US: "Zeebra"

I would venture a guess that countries that say "Z" as "Zee" pronounce it "zeebra" where countries that say Z as in "Zed" pronounce it zebrah like "Debra".

    Except Canada, where we only do things halfway and never just pick a side on something like this: we say both “zed” and “zeebra”

    In your defense, you have a significant active French community.

    It's a bit like during the Norman Conquest when English started absorbing some French - it's just still ongoing for you!

    That’s a good point and for language stuff we should prob get a pass, but I NEED people to stop using the fucking imperial system for such a random assortment of shit and just stick to metric lol
