    hahahaha. actually America was named after the italian cartographer Amerigo Vespucci. he was the guy who finally said that North America, Central America, and South America (what it is now) were not part of Asia as Columbus thought. or at least that was the way i was taught by my teacher. funny story nevertheless.

    Just use the phonetic alphabet :

    alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot, golf, hotel, india, juliet, kilo, mike, november, october, papa, quebec, romeo, sierra, tango, uniform, victor, whiskey, x-ray, yankee, zulu...

    It's pretty universal...

    "Z" is never pronounced with a zed sound in any word therefore the American pronounciation would be correct when reffering to the letter in a non-mathmatical sense.
    Zed is a throwback to the greek alphabet and apparently the only way for you thick-toungued Europeans to understand eachother.

    It was Eric the red who descovered Greenland, and his son Lief Ericsson who discovered Newfoundland and later America.

    The Native American tribes might disagree with you on who discovered America.

    In Canada and Britain it's supposed to be Zed, but here in Canada most of us say Zee. If you have troubleyou can use the system that (insert name of person with good idea) posted about. My entire family always does this, and we never have problems.

    Z = "Zee" [sound]

    Like I said earlier its Zee, otherwise that ABC song wouldn't have been developed. Z has to rhyme with B, C, D, E, G, P, and V otherwise the song doesn't work.

    I have a question for you people who pronounce Z as Zed.

    Does it sound like Zeed or Zed?

    XTR-x
    Have you read Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress?" or Neal Stephenson's "Crytonomicon"? Seems the tcpa is a problem that goes all the way back to WW2. Wait till they adopt electronic voting- the Diebold system is laughably unsecured...

    --------> Somebody needs to initiate a "Z" or "Zed" poll and stick a knife in this thread...
