Hay nice idea Damien. Only problem is then the inform games would be known as zeed code, which sounds like something used in genetic plant manipulation ;D.

Re: [Audyssey] Synth saying zed and not Zee.
Because Zed rymes with dead and sounds much more evil and stylish ;D. Actually Charles, if I remember rightly, it's because the original griek term for a very similar letter was zeta which obviously when translated to english ended up as Z. In American evolution of the language (whicyh as I've actually said on several occasions is! really quite different to Uk english even though both are understandable to one another), the last d sound of Zed obviously got dropped somewhere along the line. This is why The wizard Zedicus in the sord of truth series who's regularly called Zed always sounds very weerd to me, as though he's just being called a letter though planely terry goodkind simply intended it as an abbreviation of his name rather like thaddius and thad, though to me it always sounds more like calling someone who's name was thaddeus T! Btw, think there are 26 letters in the alphabet? wrong! there are actually only 25, because the angel said no l! Rofl! Beware the grue!

It's another way of saying z. We actually say it Zed, but I just spelt it how they said it. Usually, if you write z in this country, it will come out as Zed.

Re: [Audyssey] Synth saying zed and not Zee.
Hi Charles, I think I have an idea, but it doesn't deter me from thinking it should be zee either. If any of you did German their equivalent is tset. Not sure if it is similar in French, but English comes partly from those languages. But even if I want any of my UK synths to say zee I just write zee phonetically.

I just know with the Scansoft voices Emily, Daniel, Karen, and Sorina they use the sh sound for schedule. That drives me a little nuts hearing that because to my ears that sounds wrong. Not only that take the letter z. Here in the U.S. we say zee like that but in most foreign countries they say zed. When typing, writing a letter or something, and when the synth says zed it about drives me up the wall. I have had to go into the Window-Eyes character dictionary to enforce it to say zee no matter what synth because zed just sounds too frickin' weird for me. Smile.
