Gah, just because Québécois is well preserved traditional standard French and French French a derivation of it, doesn't mean you upstarts should get any ideas. Real French is what the Paris Académie tells Québec is real French.

Pardon me while I excuse myself to hide in the closet and laugh until my head explodes.

I believe the question is: Do Canadians pronounce the letter "Z" like "zed" (UK style), or "zee" (US style)?

"zed" (UK style), or "zee" (US style)?

Pretty much interchangable in the UK as far as I'm aware. That said, it could just be that we young'ns all grew up watching American cartoons. Not exactly a topic of every day conversation though, is it?

GAH! The adjective comes before the noun. It's where it belongs to. Everybody should know his place. Pöh! All these barbarian languages and their ways...
