I'm American and I never heard of people announcing it Zed10 until recently. Makes no sense to call it Zed10. Is this a Canadian thing only?

Cannucks and Brits are just really big Power Rangers fans.

Zed is how the letter Z is pronounced in the UK and which incidentally is the correct way! ;-) Lol

That is diversity. A beautiful thing. I used three different pronunciations until i got stock with the one we use in germany.

Actually outside of the US, the English speaking world says zed, not just Canada.

Zed ultimately comes from the Greek zeta, but the path is via the Latin zeta and the French zde. It appears in English in the 15th century.

Zee appears in the latter half of the 17th century. Some early currency in England, but now pretty much restricted to the US.

So basically it's a zee10 in America but in Canada, and Britain (possibly the rest of the world) it would be a zed10.

I'm not an expert in language though I copy/pasted the first two points. Someone else probably knows more about which other countries say zed10.

It's Zeta 10 for me.

[sgt_snacks-64]

I say Zed 10, my american friends say "Zee 10", they always tell me I'm wrong. I always protest my point (for about two months, my point was " I have the phone... You don't ")

When Brits say "Zee" we usually claim they have "Sesame street syndrome"

I bet when Canadian kids sing the ABC's it gets kind of botched towards the end of the song...Q-R-S-T-U-VEE----W-X-Y-and-ZED

Whatever you wanna call the Z10, it's still a perfect 10 to me~!!

I have to say Lord Zedd (he spells it with two D's) is my favorite Power Rangers villain.

Just setup my wrist communicator ring tone on my ZEE ten.

But seriously guys, who gives a hootenanny if we call it the Zee, Zed, or Zeta?

I have a great phone powered by blackberry 10!

After over 170 years, we seem to be doing just fine.

Right now I am in Waterloo, Canada. The birthplace of the company and the z10. We call it zed, sorry.

[blue quill]

I call it my phone...

In the US it makes perfect sense to call it Zee-Ten. In the rest of the English speaking world it is Zed-10, in France Zed-Dix, in Germany Zett-Zehn, Zeta-Diez in Spanish speaking markets, and so forth...

[Lehomer]

Meh, I just call it 10 , I drop the Z altogether.

[knighty2112]

Yes, the rest of the English speaking world do indeed pronounce the letter Z as Zed. I know it sounds funny to you guys in the US, but you gotta remember that the way you say it sounds funny to the rest of the English speaking world.

Personally it doesn't really matter how you pronounce your letter Z. There is no correct or wrong way. It is just country specific only. : )

[SwitchBeach]

It's Zeta 10 for me.

I like it.

Perhaps the female Z10s are Zetas and the male Z10s are Zed. And the ones that can't decide are Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[wilderr]

I simply call mine the Z-oneZero

you speak English ... yes? ... and in England it's pronounced zed ... therefore that's the correct way

I just call it "my precious ...."

Makes no sense other than it is the correct pronunciation in the english-speaking world, which obviously excludes america.

[twistytombobber]

I call it 10 out of 10 does it matter?

[Skeevecr]

I would actually be quite surprised if the majority called it a z10 regardless of their pronunciation when things like my blackberry, my phone, my bb10 etc. are all far more likely to be used.
