Do they not use W or X in Alberta?
Also, some cultures actually prefer to change the pronunciation of a
digit to avoid it sounding the same as another one. This helps to avoid misunderstanding. so using Zed would help to mark it out as different from B C D E G etc.
the bus thing - yes people do thank the driver. That is cool.
Shoes
off motherfucker.
Washroom - great word, restroom means nothing, and the UK variant "Toilet" is a little on the nose (although factually accurate).
You can always spot american tourists because they get puzzled by the coins. It's a dollar or 2 dollar coin, what is the fucking problem? Perhaps I'm spoiled by the fact that the UK has 1 and 2 pound coins too (it kind of amuses me that even though they have a $1 note in the USA, our 2 pound coin was - until recently - worth almost $5). Life without them is too terrifying to consider, all those notes
shudder. In fact someone gave me an old $2 canadian note the other day (as a curio not as tender), cute thing had a loon on it - just to be fucking difficult.
