The reality is that American english pronunciation of “Zee” is globally more popular than british english “Zed”. As a descriptivist for linguistics, I believe language IS how it’s used, not how it ought to be used. So I was being over-the-top calling “Zed” a mispronunciation. But it’s just as, if not more, wrong to call “Zee” the mispronunciation too.
“mispronounce” Z. Yeah no, anyone who calls it “Zed” are the ones mispronouncing it. Z rhymes with G, P, and V in the alphabet song. End of story.
Zeds dead
Good story, now back to reality, please.

That’s reasonable; I’ll take it.
