    Personally, I pronounce "z" as zee, so does my family.
    I've never actually heard it pronounced "zed".

    I say "zed" when I spell something out loud, but "zee" for the alphabet song ;P

    We're pretty weird.
    There is a convention here on when to use "zee" or "zey". Yes, we say "zee" or "zey". When z is preceded or succeeded by any letter that would confuse z with c, we say "zey". If you can't say the buzz which, unfortunately, plagues our population), "sey" means z. If both conditions are not present, you can safely say "zee".
    In the alphabet song, all three pronunciations (zee, zed, zey) are okay to use.
    When someone says "zeta", they're automatically Spanish descendants.

    Zed. Americans tend to pronounce it like "zee" because it rhymes with "vee" in the alphabet song, but that's just lazy. Pronounce it properly. Z-E-D.

    Wait what?

    I thought H was like aytch not haytch. This is a bigger problem for me than zee and zed.
