Title: ZED???
Skyclad_Alisium - December 20, 2007 05:03 AM (GMT)
Is this true or am I interpreting this correctly?
Just watched SGA: "Raising" tonight again and noticed Dr. Wier comment on how Rodney says "Zed" instead of Z for ZPM because he's Canadian.
I havn't really paid attention before but, do you Canadians always say Zed instead of Z (ZEE) ,or is that what you say for your phonetic alphabet like how we say Zulu?

Dude, you have about 1/5th of the country you can get away with calling Yankee.
3/5ths are indiffrent.

Don't belive them Gummy.
There is no "off this continent. "
It's either here or water. That's it.

Don't you mean "indifferent"?

There are two types of people in this world.
1) Americans; and
2) Those who are pissed that they aren't Americans.
