Default How do you pronounce the letter Z?

If reading out the alphabet, I would say "Zee" because it rhymes with "Vee" but if I was reading a postcode or spelling a word out I would say "Zed".

I pronounce it Zee.

It's World War Zee rather than World War Zed.

Zee. It's supposed to be zed in Australia but I HATE zed and refuse to say it. I took this stance when I first learnt the alphabet, and I still stand by it.
