Well...I'm always willing to step in it...soo...

Do not ask a Brit how to pronounce English. 

I know the origins enough, but I'm not met one yet who can pronounce the alphabet. If the letter Z is pronounced Zed, why is B or D (or a dozen other letters) not pronounced Bed or Ded?

They are decals...DEE-KALZ!

It is not spelled deckles, chuckles.
