The letter "Z" is "Zetto" in Japanese -- which is an approximation of Zed.

How do you say 'eh?' with a Canadian accent? The pronunciation is "A."

Iam pretty used to it personally. But then agian I lived in the US for the first 6 years of my life(although I was born in Canada) then moved to Canada and have lived here ever since. But god was it annoying getting used to spelling all those little things differently in school. In fact to this day I tend to just write wich ever comes to mind first 
As for the zee and zed thing. I just use wich ever fits what Iam saying better. Like to for me 300Zee sounds better than 300Zed. Yet 350Zed sounds better than 350Zee imho |

Maybe,  , but it's a 300ZedX, and a 350Zed. Zee doesn't get a lot of use out of me. |

Not maybe that interesting to many of you who already know this, and ive been to the states and stayed there for quite a while and for some reason I always thought that canada and USA had the same spelling.
so there you go !

I always drop the X in 300ZX for some reason. However if I said the X then yea ZeeX would sound kinda odd |
