Its finally happened !

My 4yo son went through his alphabet this morning and he said ZEE at the end :curse:
I said "its Zed son not Zee" his reply "no Daddy its ZEE"

Also he keeps calling everything "COOL"

Do i need to take him to the doctor ?

Yours worryingly
Daz

Butch Cassidy

ask him what the stripy horse like animal is called.

Even I know that is common in the UK.

dazzlerdaz

Yeah but it sounds a bit like "cooooowl" when he says it

dazzlerdaz

A quick google for a pic resulted in him saying "Zebra" not "Zeeeebra"

Thank you Butch.......you have given me hope

Butch Cassidy

Nope sorry to upset you but that just proves he IS becoming Canadian. Really annoys me about these people they Zee and Zebra. I want to take them by the throat and shake them, some consitency wouldnt go amiss

dazzlerdaz

I might just have to try that

BristolUK

Well, the doc it is then.

dazzlerdaz

I am going to teach him how to speak "Manc" !
This course involves getting him to listen to "Oasis interviews" and watching Coronation street at least 5 times a week

Most people I know say Zed. Although Zee does seem to be more and more popular for some reason.

dazzlerdaz

I cant for the life of me see why

rwin

My theory is too much American influence - TV, movies, etc.

I had to give my postal code to a US shipper once -

Vee, one, zed ...

Excuse me???

Vee, one, zed ...

Huh?

Vee, one, zee...

Oh, okay.

'merkan influence.

Those darned yankees it's all their fault if they would only pronounce things correctly the world would be in the mess it's in today.

Auld Yin

I guess he's in real trouble when he begins using trunk (boot), hood (bonnet) and sidewalk (pavement) etc, etc, etc.
