I think if you just put in Z10 people will pronounced it however they like. Now that I am done being a little smarty-pants, no I have no idea how it is going in France.

Not to hijack this thread but given that it is a Canadian product, it's pronounced Zed 10......

....the "eh" at the end is of course optional......

Hijacking continues! If it was the Zed 10, the name of it wouldn't be z10. It would have the ed after the z.

Thorsten Heins said zed 10 when it was unveiled. Live with it and accept it.

Hey guys... it's in another thread

It's here, in shops (orange) and in my hands. Shops where I went were sold out I've been fortunate enough to get the last one in one shop.

To keep the hijack alive

I don't know what they call it in Canada but when it crosses the southern border (if it ever does cross the border) it will be called Zee 10

**Superfly_FR** · 02-17-2013, 03:58 PM

Zed is the way we pronounce "Z" in France. Zero doubt zed10 here.

**darkehawke** · 02-17-2013, 05:19 PM

maybe it's not gonna get released in the US until you start calling it the Zed 10

What does german have to do with it. It's American vs Commonwealth English. At the unveiling in new York Commonwealth was used.

Oh no you could be right. I will gladly call it Zed 10 if they would get it to me this week.

You know a rose by any other name etc.........

**TheGreatGouk** · 02-17-2013, 08:32 PM

In France it will be called "Zut 10" which means 'damn!' or 'blast!'

*lame jokes

Erm why would they call it the Zut 10? Le français ne prononcent pas le z comme "zut". That highschool french is paying off! LOL

**timmy t** · 02-17-2013, 09:35 PM

Actually, US commercials call it the Zee10. Even the Superbowl commercial pronounced it differently for each country.

**hurds** · 02-17-2013, 10:26 PM

What to call it shouldn't be a problem in forums since we aren't pronouncing it.

But I'm all for people calling it whatever they want.

And I believe this is why they used "Z" or "Q" as 1st letter of the device name. No need to span different marketing/ad prints with localized names.

In English language letter Z is pronounced zed. Not zee. I really don't the reason for arguing.
