Why do Canadians call the last letter of the alphabet Zed?
- k310 2mo agoI use characters from the phonetic alphabet to prevent misspellings of some easily mis-heard characters. But not zed, rather zebra. I don't use zulu. I watched too many StarTrek episodes with Mister Sulu. Interesting history, nonetheless
