... At least I was right about the 'z' part, though!
Well, the website doesn't say anything about the usage in Germany today, just that the origin is German.
Ah, it's so annoying that 'i' can be a diphthong in English. You did write 'zie' later on, though, which probably isn't pronounced [zai]. But it's not important. The 'z' part is right =P
