  In almost all forms of Commonwealth English, the letter Z is named zed, reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta. Other European languages use a similar form, e.g. the French zède, Spanish and Italian zeta. The American English form zee derives from an English late 17th-century dialectal form, now obsolete in England.

  In Singapore, we use the Queen's English; therefore, we spell words like "Labour" and "Colour" with a "u". We should not spell the words as "Labor" and "Color", which is American English.
  
  When using Queen's English, "Z" is pronounced "Zed".
  
  We should also remember that words like "Criticise" is spelt with an "s" and not with a "z" (e.g. "Criticize" ) which is also American English.
