  3. I used to work for a travel agency called YYZ Travel. It was always confusing when dealing with airlines in the US. I had to make sure they weren't confusing zee with cee and. YYC would be Calgary.

  8. The choice of letters to me suggests that this business claims to be the ultimate/best one! Thought that could be said for one claiming the letter "A"! Hmmmmmmm

  14. I learned that it was zed when I took French in high school. And a small "A to Zed" British dictionary I have.
