Learning the Australian alphabet

Zach told us a funny story that happened to him at school. He didn't think it was that funny, actually. Aussie's say a couple of letters different: H is said Haaach - like hate, but with a "ch" on the end. Also Z is pronounced zed - like Ned.

Zach's teacher was asking the kids to write something (spelling words or something) and told them to write Z. So Zach did. Z E D. "No no" she said, "Z". So Zach did. Z E D. "No" she said again. "Why do you keep doing that?" Zach explained that he told her to write Zed - like Ned. Ohhhhhh. Light comes on and she remembers that we call it a Zeeeee. He was embarrassed.
