Just wondered what people thought. Your choice will be made public once the poll is closed. so you can see who picked what. _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zec-or-zec-zcash-or-zcash/35469/1))_ And _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zec-or-zec-zcash-or-zcash/35469/1))_ Will close it in a week or two, maybe later if I forget. ---

Okay, I am typing this before I close the poll. But this is 100% binding poll, there is no controversy. Everyone is encouraged to disparage others opinions. this is a 100% subjective, so it doesnā€™t matter. please take it in all good fun. With that the poll is now close. although I might need someone to reply before I can laugh at people who donā€™t agree with me. I said ZED-Cash and zec as in SEC. I am English, feel free to point and laugh, so have at it. šŸ™‚ edit: well shit, it looks like Im the only one who know how to say it properly.- thanks box. I will unleash my tirade against the zee-cashers - im pretty astonished. even the English are disavowing their own education in favour of internationalisation. im really surprised. ---

Zeek? Thatā€™d make us ā€˜zeekersā€™. Zeekers of what? Knowledge? Fortune? Maybe regular seekers of something but with a German accent. Much happier being a ā€˜Zeckerā€™, even if thats a disturbing Serbian verb involving bunnies. As for ZED, only Brits & Canadians say that instead of ZEE, maybe other fragments of former English Empireā€¦ and the evil guy in Superman, no wait, that was ZODā€¦ ---

I am sorry but ZED - cashers really hurts my tongue. Doesnt it feel hard to pronounce to someone who is a native English speaker? Is it just me? ---

> [@azrael](#): > > I am sorry but ZED - cashers really hurts my tongue. For non American English, British English for example the Z is pronounced ZED. ZEE-Cash sounds like someone doing a bad french accent trying to say ā€œtheā€ cash. (to those brits old enough think 'allo 'allo) In US English the ZEE inflection goes up at the end, in British English it goes downwards. hence why if you call it ZEE-Cash it would make sense for you also to call the asset ZEEK. I think sometimes I call it zeecash (not 100% sure, but if I have I was clearly in a state of inebriation), but I always read it as zed-cash. Also since I am the only person in the world that seems to call it zed-cash, wtf did no one correct me at anypoint in any of the livestreams? huh? thanks @sonya, great moderation. a quick ā€œsteve, you sound like a spaz, it is called zeecashā€ would have been nice. šŸ˜› ---

I actually say both depending on what sounds phonetically better in the sentience or who I am around. I donā€™t notice the difference, or when I am doing it. but when I read the word I read it as ā€œnietherā€ in my head. same with ā€œeetherā€ and ā€œeyetherā€ I read ā€œEhā€ as phonetically sounding the same as the letter ā€œaā€ and no idea what ā€œayyyā€ should sound like, I assume it is meant to be ā€œehā€. (meh is still meh and not may tho, lol) (my spell checker is having a fit) ---
