Gratefulmomsays...This was a fun vid to watch. I agree, as an American, I do some of these things, however, being French I always pronounce croissant the french way, I also get funny looks. Just like when I pronounce au jus the french way at work, I get told I should pronounce it the right way or people say, "bless you". I find it funny. Also, I always say your welcome after a thank you, but I know a lot of people that react the way he said. Nice find
gorillamansays...The croissant is one of the most magnificent articles of pastry on earth and it should be treated with the proper respect.
How could it be that americans can't pronounce croissant correctly but they still insist on a pretentious, faux-french style for 'herb'? Just what is the matter with these people?
Listen, I'm british so that means I'm really smart and you have to do what I tell you. Croissant is pronounced 'kwa-sorn'; herb is pronounced 'herb'. If someone tells you otherwise, you slap them right in the mouth.
God knows what crimes @Gratefulmom has had to witness done to 'au jus'. "Oh, juice"?
Bruti79says...On principle, I can't upvote anything with Gavin McInnes. I don't find him funny or a good dude. =(
nanrodsays...I have to agree 100%. I'm getting very tired of the invalid stereotypical portrayal of a Canadian as a person wearing a red plaid shirt, a toque, and saying "Eh" about 20 times more frequently than anybody I've ever known. And his 10 things are either differences everyone is aware of or they're invalid. I've never used or heard the term soaker as he describes it, plenty of Canadians burn their marshmallows, and we've all eaten smores. Ironically, his comment about Americans who've never been anywhere is also applicable to him, at least when it comes to travelling within Canada. He comes across as a typical person who has grown up in Ontario and believes that the rest of us are just like him. Oh and yeah, he's just not funny.

Imagoaminsays...Oh yay, it's Gavin McInnes, the white nationalist dude that got booted from the company he founded for being even worse than the rest of Vice...
" McInnes has referred to Asian-Americans as "slopes" and "riceballs," suggested Muslims are "stupider" and "more violent" due to inbreeding, defended blackface because some minstrel shows were "just mimicking black people" and "fun," backed the racist comments of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson, and argued that to yell the n-word at someone is "not racist" but "just very rude."
