    @Samlane86 Being a francophone enclave in an anglophone continent (North America), they constantly have to push back against the anglicization of their language, which led to initiatives like the "Law 101" that forces business to use French to conduct business in Québec. This has led to forced translations of brand names (like "Poulet Frit du Kentucky" for KFC) and a systematic creation of French neonyms for their English counterparts that metropolitan French people use as is.

    Created in a constant state of urgency, these names may sound strange to metropolitan French because they have absolutely no usage outside of Québec, Even there their use is marginal, but they have to do what they have to do to keep their language from ceding ground to American English.
