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?


I’m not Canadian, but grew up on the border and only got Canadian television stations for years. As a result, I regularly change back and forth between zee and zed.
