didn't really have a lot of love in it. I didn't know you were french-canadian, sorry about that remark then.
I guess the "zee" comes from the attempt of saying the "th" but not doing it properly, too much air flows around the tongue making it sound like "zee".
Must be, since Germans (and Austrians) use it too.
And now I remember Luigi and Andrea from Italy, they too liked the "zee".
