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 used to not care about this at all, but recently I am adamant about using zed. Similarly, I go out of my way to use the non-American spelling for any words that have it.
