Yeah, but it's sort of like spelling out an accent. We know Rodney pronounces "Z" as "zed". It's not actually written that way, is it?
Right?
I'm suddenly suspicious of all British and Canadian people. Do you go around writing out "zed"?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's the correct verbal rendering, but spelling it out is unnecessary. Yeah, that would be irritating.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh, you mean fanfic writers spelling out ZedPM in fic. (Which obviously was what askye meant now that I've stopped having a brain-farty overly-patriotic moment and actually read her post.) Yeah, that's kind of irksome.

Thrive to spite them
Sorry if I wasn't clear, that was written during the part of the day when I thought it was Monday.
The ZedPM thing is kind of like when someone writes out Fraser saying the "left" in lieutnent.

It's like hearing the "u" in colour and flavour pronounced.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What, they don't rhyme with "velour"?

Are these real summaries?
Yes. I'd hazard a guess that they're culled from stories posted at ff.net.
