I say both. When taking my eye exam, my optometrists observed I say "zed" or "zee" interchangeably, based on the letter preceding the Z.
Apparently people who say "zed" consistantly, are more likely to be patriotic and into the whole, "Canada is super different than America," or so I remember reading in a linguistic article last year in student paper | |
I'm feeling at home ^__^ right now.. |

well, Zee is the american english version of it, Zed is the british/european way of saying it, and, well, americans are rather well known for fucking up words/pronunciation from the original language..
proper, not proper: Zed not Zee Colour not color Armour not armor Aluminium, not aluminum are just a few examples of words that have been bastardised by americans in an attempt to seperate themselves from their country of origin. Canada, still technicaly being a british colony, goes by the 'proper' spellings of things, it's just that most people, including teachers, are so used to the americanised versions of everything being shoved down our throats that they've started using the wrong spelling/pronunciation for a lot of things. | |
I'm feeling major nerdage right now.. |

somebody corrected me on it today i was just wondering what other people thought...i say 'zee' i also use the american spelling for things like 'color' and 'labor'... but i think it's from tv, spell checks and having read it nearly 1000X more often than in the commonwealth spelling... | |
I'm feeling surly right now.. |
