Surprised no American forked it and called it Zee

But anyway, yes these bland names do annoy me. R, C, Go, etc. Have an opinionated name but especially, that's not hard to google

I found it funny when an American customer support person I was talking to over the phone had no idea what "zed" meant. I was reciting some code and they asked, "what is zed"? I said, "uh, the last letter of the alphabet".

		If you really wanna confuse them, use "Zulu". Unless they have exposure to military or aviation, they'll have no idea what you're talking about. Fun related anecdote, my wife works in a medical lab and occasionally has to call a doctor to report critical values. She frequently uses the NATO phonetic alphabet (her dad was Navy) for patients with names that are hard to pronounce or have an odd spelling (Who names their kid "Heathyr?"), and one time, the nurse taking the note actually filed a complaint against her for using "weird" words to spell out a name.
