Canada

Like many things, it depends. I'm curious about the context where you're actually hearing YouTubers say the letter.

It's usually "zed" and we're taught it as "zed" in school - at least when i was a kid.

If I'm spelling something it is Zed. I don't think I've ever said Zee in that context.

The alphabet ends with Zee when singing it, due to the rhyme with Vee (and probably Sesame Street).

In my head I will say Nissan Zee for a Z type car. Though if I was to speak the phrase "Nissan Z type" I would say Zed.

When it is used in online slang (GG EZ) it is "Zee" for "easy".

ZZ Top is Zee Zee Top. Zorro draws a Zed. Things are Zed-shaped, not Zee-shaped in general.

We are now, no longer the Canadians who say ‘zi’.

I am Canadian I say Zed. Plus it’s fun to watch americans lose it when I say Zed Zed Top (heehee).

Zed. Grew up in Ottawa, since lived in Montreal a long time. French also says zed.

It's also zed in French, fwiw

both, and i never bother to correct myself, or give it any consideration.

Zed is the proper Canadian way to say it. Those people just probably watch a lot of American content so it stuck for them.

Zed. Zee is horrible.

Stand proud, Embrace Zed.

It'll always be zedzedtop.

I have to catch myself to not say "Dragon Ball Zed".

"Zed" now and forever.

Zed if I refer to the letter itself, but if it's part of a phrase, like "Gen Zee" etc. I will use that.

I have this nasty habit of correcting people when they say Zee when it is obviously Zed.

Zed ad absurdum.

E-zed sharpener. Eee Zed Money. That sort of thing.

Drives everyone crazy, especially if it's a Canadian or Commonwealth product.

I used to not care about this at all, but recently I am adamant about using zed. Similarly, I go out of my way to use the non-American spelling for any words that have it.

I say zed. My kids all say zee, to my chagrin. Thanks, US children's entertainment.

Born and raised in the USA, only took a few months of living in Canada to switch to zed.

Also, never seen it spelt "zi" ever, lol.

“Zee’s dead, baby. Zee’s dead.”

Dunno who decided zee was a thing, but they were wrong.

zed of course.

Don't argue with Meredith Rodney McKay.

Zed

As far as I can remember I was taught in school to say it as 'zee'. But that was in secondary language classes and that was a long time ago... We definitely say it as 'zed' in French though.

It's a Camaro "Zed" 28

But the alphabet it's X, Y, "Zee"

I have not yet encountered a Canadian who says "zi" the way I do. I've worked at schools here with ages from 12 to 22 and all of the students have said "zed" as well as every teacher and co-workers I've had.

I seem to alternate depending on context. Never really noticed until thinking back on it.

I'm not Canadian, but grew up on the border and only got Canadian television stations for years. As a result, I regularly change back and forth between zee and zed.
