Americans wrongly refer to the letter z as "zee". Canadians say "zed". I always thought the English, and indeed, people in all English-speaking countries other than the U.S. say "zed", and the 'Murcans are the weird ones saying "zee".

My Oxford dictionary in my sony prs-t1 shows the British pronunciation as zed and the U.S. as zee.
