      My buddy once showed me a funny interaction in the comments under a Top Gear video about the Corvette Z06. Being from the UK, the called it the Zed-06. But someone in the comments claimed that it should be pronounced Zee-06. The conversation went something like this:

      “Why does he keep saying Zed-06? It’s Zee-06.”

      “Because in England, where this video was made, we say ‘zed’”

      “Well, in America, where the car was made, we say ‘zee’”

      “Well, in England, where English was made, we say, ‘zed’”

      Yes indeed, but I guess that’s because a model designation doesn’t feel the same as a proper noun - it’s just numbers and letters. Maybe…?

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I may be just making fun of those vehicles but I call them a 24 oz or the newer ones are a 35 oz.

        I mean, we all get into cars sometimes. Doesn’t change the validity of your opinion man.

        But being Dutch on the other hand…
