minus-squarestr82L @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI’m suggesting that if you take your logic and apply it to all the letters equally, you’ll end up with the changes I listed. If that seems wrong, then the case for consistency isn’t as strong as you first suggested.
minus-squaremodern_drift@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·1 year agoI understood what you were suggesting, it was just weak. Americans say “zee”, which is comparable to the letters I gave as examples. between zee and zed, zee makes more sense with it being inline with other letter’s pronunciations. What does zed come from? Admittedly, I do not know the history of the character’s development.
