since 1982 it has been a Z to me and it will always be a Z to me, whats a Zed?? is that a new fraternity or something ??

 

My car started out in life as a Zed... from it's birth in Japan... shipped to the US and became a Zee.... and finally on Canadian soil... returning to life as a Zed

 

I know that but the majority are in that area and 22% is small considering you have 78% thst arent "French Can."

 

lol..

which is exactly what you want to be humming going 240KPH on the highway

 

When I was calling the US (I'm in Canada) for parts for my 350-Zed. I kept having to correct myself because you americans didn't understand me.

"Do you have ____ for the 350-Zed" "350 what?" "errr. 350Zeee?" "OHH the 350-zee"

 

I was hearing Butch saying that in my head when I started reading this thread.

Here's the real story on this issue:

The Nissan Company had a long time employee that they wanted to name the car after. The employee was a cross-dressing american man named "Ned". Soon they arrived at the new name "FairladyNed". Market research proved that this name was too bizzarre (yes, even the Japanese have limits), thus the name was modified to "FairladyZ" (but company insiders still referr to it as "the Ned").

 

Ah, British english...I love hearing things like Nought to 60 instead of 0 to 60.

 

British accents are hilarious. They sound really cool though, as long as I can understand what they are saying.

"pissing the night away" is one of my favorite phrases.

 

So we can expect "W" to be changed to be pronouced "wuh" soon in your alphabet?

 

i dont really understand what your getting at.... but everyone knows "W" is pronounced "dubya"

 

Zed to the Zee is like football to soccer...those Englishmen went up the Hill and came down the Mountain....

 

Nice, working in an obscure film title, very cheeky!

 

the way the english say things are more gentlemen like...for instance... american would turn around after love making and say:"honey, did you just ***?" .......Englishman would say:"darling, have you arrived?"

 

just like the Brits would say "Excuse me, do you have any Grey poupon?", we would say "Yo mang, you got sum mustard???"

 

Oh yeah, another pearl of the english language. How did two letter "v" ended up being called "double hu" !!!

It's a "Double Vé" in french. Just how it should be!

 

if we followed the french in everything we do, we'd all be speaking german right now. is it "i svrrender" in french?

 

I'm French Canadian. You know, the ones who burned down the capitol in the old days?

 

Oh, Now I Zee clearly!!! Tanks to all my ZED friends...

 

There seems to be a major misconception about all this. Being that this great land was not inhabited by Americans/Canadians from the start, and many of the first settlers were from England, France, Dutch, Spain, as they knew how to build boats, our language is obviously a mix of many of these. Americans/Canadians did not invent the language (sorry to burst many fantasies). Sorry to also say that niether Canada or America has any linguistically recognized dialects -- many slangs but no dialects.

We can bust our chops and debat this to 100+ posts... but the fact is we are all entitiled to our opinions (either filled or devoid of actual facts).

Cheerio and all that rot!

 

Oh dear god 240z. Before you were spouting your retarded opinion, that was perfectly fine. Now you just spewed some retarded misinformation and I must set you straight!

You noted where the english speakers that inhabited the north american continent came from. Where did the english language come from? If they came from the same place, is it not logical to assume they had just as much to do with the creation of the language as any european? These people simply moved, so now they don't have the right to claim their own language? That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard.

Sorry to burst YOUR fantasy.



Maybe you should have performed a little research before running your mouth and making such a bold and erroneous claim.

No dialects in america! LOL!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely laughable!

Everyone who speaks a language speaks some dialect of the language; it is not possible to speak a language without speaking a dialect of the language.

Or better yet... have opinions filled with absurd misinformation.

What else can you enlighten us on 240z????
