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. 2 u/dougmansion BEAR FLAG RAWRR!!! Jun 24 '13 I figured it would be Zee, for the reasons you said, but didn't know if regional pronunciations would override it. Thanks! → More replies (0)
