Yep. The English way of saying the letter 'z' is 'zed'. Americans (and American
influenced countries) say 'zee'.
There's a bunch of other stuff, too. Most of them relate to Americans
'simplifying' words or sounds to make them either easier to pronounce, or
easier to say. Hence colour becomes color, Aluminium becomes Aluminum, and so
forth.
