I'm British, but as I live in Vegas now I've got used to calling it the 370 'zee'. So much so, it even feels weird to me now when I watch UK shows call it the 370 'zed'.

it's simple. normal people call it zed. americans call it zee. case closed. lol.

seriously, both are correct historically, though zed is more standard, more true to the origin of the letter, and in a way, more correct. but leave it to americans to insist on using a more obscure pronunciation to feel more "unique"

zed and zee in Canadian speech & spelling from Bill Casselman's Canadian Word of theDay

Good explanation...................

BTW: We Americans may not be always right. But just think what this old world could be like without us..... Food for thought.

Calling the 370 "Z"; "Zed" seems very strange / unnatural to me. Why make it more complicated by putting the “ed” like Eddy at the end with it? The letter “Z” in the alphabet seems most logical. “Z” is “Z”. If I went around calling a 370 "Z" a 370 "Zed" people would look at me like on crack cocaine. If you want to make things more complicated it's your choice I suppose.

Nope, using "Zed" for "Z" is retarded and thus why America un retarded it. Besides we're on the winning team after all.
