It is ZPMZero Point Module. Canadians pronounce Z as Zed. Don't ask me why, and no, I'm not kidding.
Zed is actually a word with french origin for the letter Z. Canada has a lot of french influence and McKay being Canadian gave the writers another avenue to pronounce the abv.
When I write I use the avb...ZPM. If I have McKay refer to the ZPM I will have him state..."Zed."
I live in the U.S. and Rodney always seems to call it a zed pm, and i think it sounds better, but to be correct in its name ZPM zero point module, i dont see how you get a "d" out of it lol,unless your taking the d from module but that dosent make sense. So to be proper i would say play Z P M or say it outright.
Theres my 2cents worth.

The 'd' is from the way Rodney pronounces the letter 'Z', Zed instead of Zee
Lol where are you from, i have always heard it pronounced zee bra, and it seems like mckay needs hooked on phonics, dictionary for zebra= zee-bruh; Brit. also zeb-ruh. So i guess we are both right lol . But if your going on pure abreviation Z by itself does not make a D sound.
