Zeds are over-rated. Zees sound like cees (especially the way Americans
say them... I could understand a British-style dialect distinguishing
Zee and Cee happily, but Americans?[1]) and should join the queue: sea
and see are already there.

[1]: You mightn't realise it, but either you use less /z/s than we do,
our you make your /z/ differently from us, so it has the affect of
making it look like the distinction between /z/ and /s/ isn't as strong
as it could be.

Next you'll be telling me that /"&n@dZuaizIN/ simply doesn't cut it for
the pronunciation, either.
