I just realized the portmanteau "gen Zedong" makes less sense to Americans because they pronounce it zee.

haha yeah that doesn't have the same ring to it

As an american, I'm now confused. How should it be pronounced?

"z" is typically "zed" in Bri'ish English

Ahhh, Okay.

So I would normally say 'gen zee dong', but its really 'gen "zed"-ong'.

"Jen zee dong" still works in real English.
