All of the Canadian youtubers that I watch pronounce the letter z as "zi", as is done in the United States. However, I have read online that it is more common for Canadians to pronounce it as "zed", as is done in the United Kingdom. Is this a regional thing? How do you pronounce the letter z?

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.
