Code Miscommunication

[TinkerBelle_325]

I just had to post this because I found it so funny...

Here in Canada, we pronounce the letter Z "Zed" (rhymes with "Ted")

But I'm pretty sure in the states Z is pronounced "Zee" (ryhmes with Dee as in Zip a Dee do Dah)

This morning, when asked for the code, i said "Zed" as the starting letter and the CM said "Ma'am, what is Zed?"

I almost fell over laughing

I quickly replied with "Sorry, I'm from Canada, that is how we pronounce what you know as the letter Zee."

As a Canadian living in California..

I was all excited when I got my Camaro ZED-28... and all my American friends were looking at me when I said it...like "You got what? Is it contagious?"

LOL! About 4 years ago, when I took one of my teacher's kindergarten classes over for a while, I kept calling Z "zed" and they just looked at me funny and said "What's a zed? That's a zee!" I had to un-zed myself pretty quick! LOL!
