Alleged Québécois terms

Several of these presented in the table at bottom are highly debatable. A single example: "peanut: is slang (and even then is always spelled « pinotte »), but never formal usage. We may call peanut butter « beurre de pinotte », but the jar says «beurre de cacahuète » or « beurre d'arachide », without exception.
