Referenced this show TWICE in a week.....

Reference #1:

A co-worker of mine moved out to Saskatchewan at about this time last year. We keep up to date on facebook.
He posted a pic of the flat plains where he was driving. To which I reply:

"You think there's not a lot going on.....WELL, THEY'RE RIGHT!!"

Reference #2:

A friend of mine works at the airport in Toronto. He posted a pic of a plane there with the comment, "Typical day at work #YYZ." To which I reply:

"Y-Y-Zed, NOT Y-Y-Zee" (referring to the blunder from the episode "Merry Gasmas" where each character pronounced the letter "Z" "Zee", and not "Zed" like a REAL Canadian, eh? )

One of my other friends, who is American, liked my comment.

I'm only new to this show, 4th episode in atm. They mention 'nougat' but they pronounce it the American way, as 'noo-get', do all Canadians say it this way?

I thought as they have a strong French connection that they would pronounce it 'noo-gaa' as the T is silent and is a French word I believe. The English say 'noo-gaa' also I have heard.

I'm from Australia, we say 'noo-gaa'... and yes we say 'zed' not 'zee' too.

As far as I know, it's always been pronounced "noo-get".

Brent : "Hey...is nougat a real thing, or did they just make it up?"

and yes we say 'zed' not 'zee' too.

Nice. That's the Canadian (or Australian) way to say it, eh?

When you get into season 3, the episode "Merry Gasmas" caused an uproar on how that letter should be pronounced.

Spoiler. If you don't want to know, do not roll over. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

When Lacey goes to the Calgary airport, she explains she wants to get to Toronto.
The attendant says, "Oh....YYZ". However, he pronounced the last letter as "zee" as in "why - why - zee"
YYZ is the airport code for Toronto.

Shouldn't he have said "why - why - ZED"?
