I needz zleep
Often times students substitute the letter s with z. In colloquial English Zed or Zee has gained prominence in it's substitutionary role of the letter S. Famous bands like Boyz to Men have capitalized on this tendency that many native speakers have. It's fun to play with words, when you know the difference between them, but for Learners of English who may be unaware of these nuances, this fun can quickly become embarrassing. Key words that are commonly 'ZEDed', include: 1. sleep = zleep; 2. seat = zeat; 3. sit becomes zit and so on.
