minus-squaremodern_drift@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·13 分钟前I understood what you were suggesting, it was just weak. Americans say “zee”, which is comparable to the letters I gave as examples. between zee and zed, zee makes more sense with it being inline with other letter’s pronunciations. What does zed come from? Admittedly, I do not know the history of the character’s development.
