Dear fandom:

ZPM is spelled ZPM, no matter who's saying it, unless you need to make a special point of its pronunciation. Americans pronounce the letter "zee," and Canadians pronounce it "zed." We know this already, and if we didn't know it before we started watching the show, we know it now, because we watch the show.

If Rodney were saying "about," you wouldn't spell it "aboot." When Rodney discusses a ZPM, he is not saying "Zed PM," he is saying "ZPM." He would be very annoyed at your treating his accent as if he were not pronouncing things the way they are spelled.

Thank you.
