By the way I’m now using Dee-Emm-Zed religiously and none of you can stop me.

@hacks4pancakes My first (and only) "proper" digital oscilloscope is a Rigol DS1054Z, based on the review of the Australian EEVBlog guy, so in my head it's canonically "D-S Ten Fifty Four Zed".

@hacks4pancakes I’m Canadian and am 100% with you. “Zee” is not a letter of the alphabet.

@hacks4pancakes I had a coworker that called UEFI "yooeffi" and Ubuntu "uunbuntu", Actually quit that job in no small part because of that

As a child, the only time I ever heard someone say Zee when they meant Zed was Sesame Street. This built a strong subconscious bias that anyone who said Zee was probably a muppet.

@ghostinthenet @hacks4pancakes had a way too long conversation with someone from Boston about a drive I'd mapped. Couldn't understand her confusion until I realized that she hadn't understood that the word I was saying to describe the drive, was simply the last letter of the alphabet. I swear the American's changed it just to make the song rhyme.

@OSchell @hacks4pancakes meanwhile in Italy we say "Di Emme Zeta" and "Zeta scaler"...

Also, with all the shit going on in the world, it gives me joy to see you thriving in your new home despite <gestures at everything>
