I studied French in school in Ontario where they taught us the "right" words. My Quebec cousins used to laugh at us when we'd say things like "pomme de terre" (literally apple of the ground). They'd correct us and say it's called "patate" (Frenchification of potato) and where did we get a crazy idea about calling them earth apples?
