I heard a BBC Newsreader refer to “Gen Zee” when she should have said “Gen Zed”. 😡😡

Ugh. As a Canadian, I sometimes hear "zee," but for the most part, I think the great majority of Canadians say "zed." I sure do.

Agreed. This is just due to ignorance(not in an insulting way), however, and not the American version of that phrase. Same thing applies to the phrase "should of" instead of the correct "should have", which I notice people using all to frequently.

I've watched Brits routinely mangle English pretty badly as well. Many say "I were" instead of "I was", or "I was sat" instead of "I was sitting". Just a few examples.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

I use irregardless but I have no idea what Zod means. It seems I've lived past my expiration date.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

That's General Zod, an arch enemy of Superman.
