Hi,
 
I think the Grammar Police fell asleep!

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Although I cannot bring myself to say it out loud, I have to admit that "aluminium" is correct because is was a Brit who invented the stuff and named it. 
 
Now, let's discuss how to pronounce "ZZ Top".


I changed from saying Zed to Zee, as a result of teaching Engilsh to kids that will be exposed to both commonwealth and US teachers, and the alphabet song. I teach both zeh-brah and zee-brah as well, but as my South African friend likes to point out, they are from Africa and there the English for it is pronounced Zeh-brah. 
 
Once the argument of US vs UK English is exposed to Canadian, South African, Australian and New Zealand perspectives, Amerian teachers tend to chill on their Webster based view point.
 
Fanny means front bottom though.

On the same number ... fer crying out loud ... a zero is not an O and an O is not a zero.

Is that zero with a zed or a zee?



Oh no!  You ought not to have asked that!  Nothing good will come of it.
