All of the Canadian youtubers that I watch pronounce the letter z as “zi”, as is done in the United States. However, I have read online that it is more common for Canadians to pronounce it as “zed”, as is done in the United Kingdom. Is this a regional thing? How do you pronounce the letter z?

    For the letter or spelling something out, I’ll always say “zed.” I think for the most part I only say “zee” if I’m using acronyms that are either specific to US organizations or that both originated there and are still considered to be tightly associated with that country (like if I need to refer to some product from a US company, though none come to mind at the moment).
