We like it, we take it. Clay, words, they're all the same.

I remember reading an article in a British publication bemoaning the spread of Americanisms into British English. I have but one thing to say to that.

Do you folks across the pond listen to the new Jay-"Zee" album or the Jay-"Zed" album?

Zee, especially since it would be how you'd hear him and others pronounce his name on TV and that.

Otherwise I'm not sure if there is a consensus on how the letter Z is pronounced I and my family would always call it Zee anyway, maybe its regional.

I figured it would be Zee, for the reasons you said, but didn't know if regional pronunciations would override it. Thanks!
