Actually, this is kind of an interesting aside. Last time I checked, Canad a counts as North America and large parts of Quebec are inhabited by folks wh o don't speak much, if any, English. Having said that, I can't recall having seen any Quebecois posting in French here, but I find it hard to believe tho se folks don't have use for a list like this.
Quebecois French and French aren't exactly the same. My dad once had to order "le pancakes" for breakfast because the waitress didn't understand "le crepes".
Well pancakes are not crepes. Different receipe, different appearance, different texture, similar taste. If you ask for something that is not on the menu ....
