It has become very comon as DK sais, it's almost the same as calling Baja California "Baja", wich does not exist or the northern state Baja California
"Norte" that doesn't exist either. The word Cortéz does not exist in the spanish language, but oh well

Que pedo?

anyway, bien dicho Ken, I've noticed that Cortés with a Z looks more clazzy more Zezty, Zoomy, Zavory, Zingy more Cortezy

If you're allergic to Noche Buena, I'd say you have more deep seated problem than the misguided "Z" or "S", whichever the case may be.
Zee you doctor first thing in the morning.

Perhaps the original use of 'z' for Cortez?
