Well, it stands for de-militarized zone, and abbreviating it to DMZ is a US ting. And the UK doesn't do DMZs to the same extent the US does (Gibraltar vs Korea/Vietnam)....Mr Hyde wrote:is it?Jim Beats wrote:But DMZ is US slang innit.....Joseph-J wrote:We're not American. Its zed.
Bass is maternal, when it's loud I feel safer
There are DMZs all around the globe though, Cyprus for instance. And in Germany in the past, so it isn't specifically American.triac wrote:Well, it stands for de-militarized zone, and abbreviating it to DMZ is a US ting.

That said there is no reason why somebody in Cyprus should say zee over zed. American english has become very dominant around the world.
i think technically we (canadians) are supposed to say "Zed"...Im acustom to saying "zee" cus I work for an american company...therefor dealing with americans all day... but I allways say DM"ZEE" cus ZEE rhymes with "DEE"
