Are Zeds discriminated against? Debate

I have to say, it is the ones in between that I feel for most... A comes first, is the Alpah wotsit... Zed is the baby, the youngest, so tends to get special attention... poor Q always needs propping up by U... and when it doesn't, no-one understands the word anyway!!

I think it is discrimination, even the register at school started with A.

Zeppelin, I suppose might be a Zed???? Well, it's a Zep, but nearly there... the Z is the same, so must come from the same family or group........

I know a lot of zeds, in fact I married one. I think they are fine in small doses but wouldn't recommend them.

I always snore when I have zeds.... allegedly......

I know lots of zeds, and I have nothing against them, personally....... but they shouldn't be allowed on, for instance, the good manners thread.....

Just my opinion

are zeds the same as zees?

When I was young, it was zed, now zees seem to have taken over.....a bit like those pesky grey squirrels.

I'll have you know I grew up with zeds....I am not a zedist....my gran's spare beds were zeds, and they were lovely and comfy.

I think so yes...in fact I may have mentioned it? my belief is that Zeds being condemned to being always placed last in A -Zs etc constitutes a gross disregard for the feelings of Zeds everywhere...being first is not the be all and end all it is portrayed.... it is the taking part that counts!
