Do people pronounce Xi "zee" or is this not wordplay?

    I pronounce it in my head like a soft "j" like the "s" in parmesan if that makes sense.

    I don't think I've ever heard it said out loud, so maybe it's more like the sound in xylophone, which would be closer to "z".

    y'all need to learn some phonetics; there is no way the sound in xylophone is anything other than a z sound XD

    I remember when George W sent us to war in 2 countries. Both a miserable failure that cost countless lives. He was reelected cause the other guy changed his opinion on the war. Flip flopper. This country has been fucked.
