Uhh I think I might be confused...
I know in other country's you guys say "Z' differently. Like "zed" and here we say like "zee".
The way I read both of them would be on the lines of "ozzy" like "Ozzy Osbourne".
So by saying it like this, it is wrong? "Ah-zee".
Dialects are confusing some times.
It's pronounced like Ozzy (as in ozzy osbourne)
but most americans say it with an 's' not a 'z'. So it comes out ossi... and it shits me.

i call him jay zee... but imo it's his name, and he has the right to have it pronounced however he wants... he obviously likes jay zee... i don't think you're referring to him by his name if you said jay zed

people are missing the point, orginal poster is from USA
they purposely pronounce everything wrong, even car names are cringe worthy due to changes.
It must be hard when everything isnt american english.

idont get confused seen a lot of american shows so get most of the slang now, can see how different English accents / slang might be more confusing to foreigners.
I like the Aussie accent spent some time there think its pretty funny the sound and some of the terms you guys use kinda like there not being serious
