So, is it zed or zee?

ZED!

Well, I figured a Frenchman would hate hearing the real French, but I rather like it. I never got into Acadian, though, since my family aren't French Maritimers. We still do hear a lot of 'Jus'qu'au coin come back'-type stuff though.

In general, there are a few differences between Canadian and American speech (we sound..more articulate), but dialectics on the East coast change all that. I also noticed a slight difference during a trip to Alberta.

Interesting. I live most of the time out here in Alberta (having moved from Ontario), and although some slang is different out here, I've never really noticed much of a difference in the way of pronunciation. Can you explain it in any more detail?

Cheers

Ehh...I remember there being a difference, not particularly what the difference was. As far as my memory reaches, Albertans sounded slightly more 'American'. Of course, it might not be fair for me to judge, having been brought up in a house of New Brunswickers.

Regarding the letter 'zed', Louis, it's definitely 'zed'. We even had a beer commercial aired at one point which denounced the use of the term 'zee'.
