Another vote for the American ZEE here.

Maybe something like...

ABCDEFG,HIJKLMNOP,QRS,TUV, WXY & Zed
Now I know my X,Y, Zed's
They're all stored here in our heads!  :)


God. I'll shut up now!  ::)

Rack up another American 'zee'.  Common expression "Zee like in Zebra".

What do other countries use for clarifcation?

I guess it's kind of like the letter W....

We don't say 'double-u-indow' for window.

I don't know Delalluvia. It's a good question. :)

ABCDEFG
HIJKLMNOP
QRSTUV
WXYZ
Now I know my ABCs
Tell me what you think of me.

I learned it slightly different,  with "zed" and it rhymes:

ABCDEFG
HIJKLMNOP
QRS and TUV
WX and Y and Z
WX and Y and Z
Now I know the alphabet
