Zombie Pitt Stop in Glasgow

[artificer]

I wonder if we will see the City of Glasgow or some kilt supplier supply Brad with the kilt. Usually most personalities when visiting Scotland get kilted up, as long as we do not see '' the Hoff '' again wearing the kilt incorrectly and thinking that he was in Ireland

Don't take it too personally, the Hoff was probably pished (seems to be a recurring theme for him, really). And, he's not all that smart to begin with.

...Debate is going on here about the pronunciation of the Z in the film's title, we pronounce ''Z'' as zed but Americans say zee, what is the correct pronounciation of the film's title?

Don't ask me. I pronounce it either way, depending on which set of relatives (American or Canadian) I am talking with.

Zee, Zed – it all depends on which side of the Atlantic you are. And even Canadians (or many of them) say Zed.

NATO phonetic alphabet says "Zulu". I've also heard the last letter of the Roman alphabet as --..

Yes, Zulu in that context is something I learned in 1968 when I was a troopie (trainee soldier).
But using it in South Africa is confusing, because the amaZulu are one of the peoples of this country.
Uniform, Victor, Whisky, X-Ray and Yankee are less ambiguous (although Yankee may carry ambiguities for Americans).

Doesn't really cause any ambiguity around the area I'm from. Around here, the word is either A) a baseball team from New York, B) Olde, or C) (relatively) foreign. Sometimes alternate phonetics are easier to remember. (alt phonetics for my callsign/username sometimes might indicate a large number of speeding tickets, or remind people of flying saucers.)

If you do a little research, MOST people are not happy about this Movie they are steering very far away from the premise of the book, which really has fans up in arms.

Oh, really? Well, I'll still be in line to see it.

I'm not sure I have ever seen a Hollywood movie stay close to to the original book form
