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?
Are you sure you’re not thinking of “naught”? I’ll admit I don’t know that Brits don’t use “Zed” for zero, but I’ve never heard it from any British YouTuber I’ve watched, including maths YouTubers, nor any British TV I’ve watched. But it’s possible one of their dialects uses it maybe?
All the ones I’ve heard say naught though.
For completeness I’ll say Canadians typically don’t say naught unless they’re British themselves, we say zero.
I just did some searching, and cannot confirm what I thought was true. I’ve no idea where I picked it up because I’ve thought that was the case for decades now. Man, do I feel clueless. Sorry for the confusion. TIL.
