Every country outside of the US says some variation of Zed or Zeta. Zeta is the Greek letter of course.

Canada is a mixed bag. Some say Zee, others Zed. On a similar note, I've never heard anyone in Canada say the word Zebra the non-American way, even if they pronounce the letter as zed.

The Z in ZX comes from the Z80 processor, pronounced "zee-eighty" since it was an American invention.

It was called the "zee-eighty" in America, where it was invented, so Sinclair should have said the same. He didn't, he preferred his own pronunciation, so I'll do the same for his invention. Zee-ecks Spectrum.

No, only Z goes. 25 letters is gematrically proper. 2 represents the division of creation, heaven and earth, before and after, life and death. 5 represents the five fingers of man and the name of G*d. Their sum is 7, representing perfection and emanations of existence.

They actually are in lots of languages, English has weird spelling that often doesn't correspond with how a word is actually pronounced. Spelling Bees only exist in English because it's too easy to figure how a word is spelled just by sounding it out in most other languages.

Danefag here and you're correct, in our languages S is always voiceless, voiceless alveolar sibilant to be precise. And Z only appears in loan words, we pronounce that letter like you pronounce the English word "set". But of course we still can hear the difference in English, gotta be brain damaged if you can't.

Bullshit. You're conflating the name of the letter with the sound it represents. They're the same thing in Japanese kana, but not in any European languages I'm aware of. And even if they were you know full well we're talking about English, so it'd still be irrelevant nonsense.

It's more of an American confusion thing, anything different makes them confused and then upset as they feel left out. They are the same type of people that go into threads they don't like to get mad at things they don't care for, maybe because it killed a thread they liked but didn't bump.

People (largely Americans themselves) noticed that and just started baiting and falseflagging with clear success for years now.
