So far America. Is losing. Amazing. I knew thr Forum could do it.
In Canada, its officially Zed. But the Internet and physical devices attempt to insinuate Zee and other Americanisms into our national Language.

As an American, I feel slightly offended that it is being insinuated that Americans are "polluting" the English language. Nation bashing is not allowed, and I ask you as a member and moderator to keep it cordial.

Oftentimes offensive barbs are meant as jokes and yet still are barbs. |

Regardless of what English is used in Australia or Canada, the English of the Internet should be American English because... we invented the Internet and we allowed you guys to use it too.  |

BUT In proper English (English English?) it is Zed and thus that is therefor the proper way to say it as that is how the letter was intended to be pronounced by those who created the language. .....Plz no nuke.... |

Misconception: British English = proper English, I would say. And how come you haven't disputed the fact that the English language of the Internet should be considered de facto following the American English? |

I believe that the fact that English [British] English is the one true faith English and thus should be the predominant language. |
