DistantEarlySignals Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 YYZed is for Canadians. In Toronto and Vancouver during the periscopes of YYZ, I commented"YYZed!!!!," but "YYZ" for the American ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 When they play in Quebec, they call it "Eee-grek Eee-grek Zed". ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Times like these that I wish they were from Vancouver. That way the song title would've been YVR and this bullshit conversation wouldn't keep on for all eternity. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taurus Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 You all know up here in Canada we say Y-Y-Zed, but did you know we say Zee-Zee Top, not Zed-Zed Top? So my advice to you all from Americaland, follow our example and you'll be on the right side of history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I like the hair metal band XYZed First album produced by Don Dokken. You Rush Closed Minded I mean Closer To The Heart Rush Fanatics wouldn't know about that band.As a matter of fact, you Rush Fanatics are clueless about music outside of the progressive rock genre. Shame on you. You know who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thread title makes no sense eh.. Z and zed are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thread title makes no sense eh.. Z and zed are the same. Hahahahaha! Exactly! Hence my useless posts. I was born to be pointless. It's YYZ for Christ's sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) I still have my luggage tags from when I took my ex wife and I to R30 in Toronto. It was one of the greatest times of my life. Orbit Room too. No wonder my wife left me. YYZUCKER BROTHERS! FUKK IT! Signed, AIRPLANE! I bet some of you don't even get my sense of humor. I've wasted 9 years on here. Edited November 28, 2015 by RUSHHEAD666 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The thread title looks funny to me, since I pronounce them both the same. Surely "Zee vs Zed" would have been better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'm so confused I can't make up my mind. Sometimes Z, sometimes Zed. Now that we're on the topic on pronunciation (at least at page 2 as far as I've come), how do you pronounce the letter 'w'? like 'double-you'?

Fridge Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Zee sounds stupid to my ears for most things, but its irrelevant. The artist named t YYZED so thats how its pronounced, just like ZEEZEETOP named it that way. Your particular location and colloquialisms are not germane.

Rutlefan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I know if a fellow American said YYZed to me, with a perfectly straight face, I would think they are amusing, and not in a good way, like those American tv journalists who try so hard to pronounce foreign names with all the inflections of someone from that country. It's not an "American way or the highway! Yeee-haw!" kind of thing, it's a "just who are you trying to impress, or do you really think this matters?" kind of thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'm no English teacher, but the reason I asked was because wouldn't it properly be YYZed around the world no matter where you live because it's the name of a song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, being a douchebag, and condescending toward the contestants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
