Yes, I thought a silly little pop culture reference was appropriate there.

The cultural influence of the U.S. on the rest of the world is huge, but I don't think even it is sufficient to convince the great majority of humans to switch from Zed to Zee.

Side note: I was very confused on one of my first road trips here and saw a sign that said "Tappan Zee Bridge." That made no sense no matter how I tried to parse it! It turns out I should have looked for the solution closer to home: that "Zee" is the Dutch word for "sea," because the Hudson at that point is very wide, prompting some Dutch explorer to call that stretch a sea (naming it after the local Tappan tribe). The more you know!
