Fun Phonetic Alphabet quiz.

Some of our younger ones pronounce Z as zee which causes much confusion, I attribute most of this to a sesame st education.
There is a popular suburban pub called the Enzed which has an over representation of Kiwis, the former group cannot relate the name.

OK, I have to ask, how do you pronounce Z?

Many amateur radio operators in other English speaking countries including the USA pronounce the letter Z as "Zed" also. Seems some of your guys habits have rubbed off on us too.. :)

USA is the only country that does not pronounce Z ZED.
We also have chips and not fries, soft drink not soda, a scotch and dry which I think you call ginger and hash browns I had never heard of until McDonalds arrived.

This whole mess about phonetics can turn (like many situations) into a total Charlie Foxtrot if one is not careful.

I'll raise you the South Australian floater, a meat pie topped with tomato sauce sitting in a bowl of pea soup, no other state claims this delicacy but they are called crow eaters.
Feel free to try it, there is no copyright as far as I am aware:ashamed:

Gotta try 'em just once. Then make the decision. :licking:

I am not trying Lutefisk (fish soaked in lye) or Surstromming (rotten fermented herring) either. Although I would try chicken and waffles before either of those.
