Problem started with watching About That on the train crashes in Spain(1), the host kept pronouncing LZB as LCB, I have no idea why but I only figured this out because I needed subtitles to understand his accent.

Having an accent is fine but I figured somewhere in the production pipeline someone should have informed him of the letter and redubbed segments, since it didn't happen I decided to write in. Apparently it's using a Microsoft sign in. No part of Canada's public should be using Microsoft products but especially for something so trivial. This was discovered when [2] clicking a link to their help centre [3]. They also use Cloudflare on their site which is again a piece of American tech that they shouldn't be using. Speaking of which, I would have used the gem link instead of youtube but it requires an account so I will include it as [4] for the purposes of url gore.

Agreed, it's not a big deal.

I'd like zed over zee, but it's not a big deal, and I've never found Andrew Chang to have much on an accent. I guess he sounds a little like an easterner to my Vancouverite ears, but whatever.

I guess he could have said "Lima Zulu Bravo" but that's way overkill for a short news clip.
