because in many languages the last letter of the alphabet is pronouned "zed" on its own..

I've never heard it called zed.
And why no props for the Beastmaster reference?

the Alphabet Song doesn't work right with "zed".
"Q R S, T U V, W X, Y and zed"

the song (same tune) for the alphabet works just fine with "zed" when sung in ...french for example (and yes I do know this for a fact)

The French also don't even have numbers for all the way from 1 to 100, so that shows how good a judge they are on that kind of stuff.

they have numbers, they just combine earlier numbers - seems logical to me....

if by logical you mean something that only the french would do like the maginot line, eat that much cheese, or sue when someone calls their sparkling wine champagne, because only if it's made in Champagne can it be called that, then yes, it seems completely logical. Otherwise no, it's French. </obligatory France bashing>

Hey! Picking on other countries. I'm in.
My current favorite french amusement.
In a magazine article a few months ago, there was a description of a debate going on about a reality show on their TV. It seems that this highly offensive show was based around a group of young people in a house and they did what most young people do: bullshit about senseless topics and try to get laid. The debate was about how common they were. There was no debating of philosophy or social concerns! They might just talk about pop culture! The world might just see that the french are not as culturally superior as they pretend to be! According to this article (and I really wish I could remember where I read it) some of the intelligencia even thought the show should be removed.
Hehehehe
Yeah, I'm laughing at you, frenchy.
Nothing says national inferiority than worrying about what others think of you.
Face it. You're lame like the rest of us. You stuff your face with fast food. You take trips to Eurodisney. Normandy is one long series of tourist traps to sell useless crap. The majority of the films you watch are Hollywood shit. You love capitalism and the lowest common denominator just like the rest of the world.
Hehehehehehe
Back on topic-
Personally, I use Zulu. It's a job thing.
Kneel before Zod.
Zed's dead, baby.
