[GreenKeys] Zee vs. Zed

[Paul Heller]

Right. 

Aren’t we hams trained to use the Phonetic Alphabet? Call them out on this!

I think only Americans can hear the difference between C and Z. To everyone else on the planet they sound the same. Stop saying ZEE! Tell those people you talk to that they need to be more understanding of amd compassionate for people whose primary language is not American.

Grrrr…
