A Year’s Supply
just listened to your latest podcast – it was great, except the whole “Zee” value thing… We’re Canadian — the last letter of our alphabet it a “Zed”. geez! Even my four-year-old twins know this and can point out that Sesame Street was wrong when they say “zee”.
sorry – pet peeve rant is now over…
Ha. Sorry I interchangeably used Zee and Zed. Since the original research was done by Americans this seemed like the correct usage…
Great show!
One comment though… 1992 was twenty years ago 😉
Chris, check out the latest episode where I talk a bit about Canadians and the letter Ze(e|d).
LOL – I had to come back in and check for other comments once I read the title and had a quick laugh that it became a topic. I’m currently listening. Thanks.-Chris
