jay and zed are the "correct" pronounciation of the words. and also how i say them.

jie is a scottish thing.

and i think zee is more of an american thing really.

Yup. I say zee through learning most things I know from Sesame Street.

I think I say both jay and jie. Cuz I'm a cool kid like that.

if im saying my alphabet i say jie, but if im spelling a name or something i say jay, don't ask why...
and i say zed at all times
