22RC27 - The Zed-Heads Act

Clarked in the Sixth Clark (June 1997) of the 22nd Ziu

WHEREAS , Talossa has historically maintained an air of cultural distinctiveness vis-à-vis the United States; and WHEREAS , nearly all of Talossa's far-flung world-wide diaspora speak English with a distinctly non-American flavour; and WHEREAS , the letter "Z" is called "zed" in the English language outside the United States; and WHEREAS , Paul Roberts and Jon Peck have immortalized this pronunciation in the first-ever Talossan radio programme; THEREFORE, this Cosâ hereby confers upon the letter "Z" the official name of "zed" and encourages all Talossans to call it by that name in all positions and recitations of the English alphabet.
