Today's Word :: Zed

first there was the infamous ZBM (Zed BM) radio station in Bermuda... then here we are given an A to Zed book by friends as part of a welcome basket (which is a critical item used universally to help with attempting to find your way to the various nooks and crannies of the city), and then I inherit a UK client named PZ Cussins (p-zed, when describing them in the office)... Without verbal spell check it is tough to catch this one...

However - my question is, "why the aversion to the zed?" - as a result there are basically 25 letters in the British alphabet because of its exclusion... otherwise I would not have to spend time figuring out my laptop's spell check settings (why it cannot remember overnight that we are here when the clock, time zone and everything else is set properly I do not know) for my frequent emails that contain:

• organise
• analyse
• specialisation

I say embrace the zed and use it as it was intended!

not to mention the other interesting auto-correction when you get to other common words in my work world of 'programme'... etc. - but that is for another day's exercise.

In my opinion there should be some type of alphabetical 'compromize'... just think about the poor confused Zedbra at the zoo...
