There was an argument going on about this in my Social Studies class a few weeks ago.
This kid from America was arguing that it's stupid to say 'zed' as it's pronounced zebra and not zedbra.
I found it very funny, seeing as the pronounciation of a word is dependant on the vowels in the word, not the pronounciation of the letter. When I pointed this out to him he switched to a "Canadians are just stupid" argument.
Good times.
