Bucit: I wasn't picking on Tampanians, honest! (well maybe I am by calling them Tampanians...)
Folks, in Quebeqois french, the word gas is Gaz. Its the word that is on on the "gaz" stations in Quebec. I guess we Canadians are more atuned to the nuances of having two officlal languages. If you have never visited Montreal or Quebec City you would not know that. If you have not visitied Montreal or Quebec City, your should. Beautiful cities with lots of history and great ambiance. Like a small slice of Europe but closer to home.
You can lecture about dual-language awareness and how "attuned" you are to the more sophisticated Quebecois lifestyle, but this is an English language forum and when you type the rest of your message in English we are generally going to expect it all to be that way. Also, you can't expect the rest of the population to know about the linguistic idiosyncrasies of every particular region, much less be sure to check the location of every poster we reply to. So, yeah, when someone starts using non-standard spellings it will be noticed, and frequently picked on (this is a fairly banter-heavy group).
I'm sure if someone decided to discuss the "pop" they drink on their boat, there's going to be someone ready and willing to inform them that it's "soda". That's just life on the internet.
