The letter Z ("seta", ) was used until 1973, when it was abolished, as it was only an etymological detail. It originally represented an affricate , which arose from the combinations "t"+"s", "d"+"s", "ð"+"s"; however, in modern Icelandic it came to be pronounced , and as it was a rare letter anyway it was decided in 1973 to replace all instances of "z" with "s". However, one of the most important newspapers in Iceland, "Morgunblaðið", still uses it sometimes (although very rarely), and a secondary school, Verzlunarskóli Íslands has it in its name. It is also found in some proper names, and loanwords such as "pizza". Older people, who were educated before the abolition of the "z" sometimes also use it.
