Who the fuck is THEY. Is it Jews? The Jews did this? That's what people usually mean by "they"

In France, they sing the alpabet to the tune of Oh My Darlin' Clementine.

It is "y grec", or "Greek y" because it comes from upsilon.

Yes, some letters have funny French names.

The pronunciation of G and J are switched, and I is pronounced like E. Makes it a bit awkward trying to spell things to a francophone when I'm speaking in english

Yes. That is true. IDK how French-Canadiens are, but to make it worse, in France locals will act coldly towards those who do not speak French. Just mispronouncing a word can warrant this behavior. Most of them are kind towards people who at least have some understanding of the langauage, tho. The majority of people in France also speak English, but still act this way.

It's inherent to all francophones except maybe some of the Africans

Québécois can act like that, but mostly rural older people imo. A fair few legitimately dont speak good english though, especially the more rural and further north you get. Usually they appreciate any effort to learn/speak french though, even if it's stilted and shitty. In Montreal tho if you try to speak french and fuck up they'll immediately switch to English, even if you keep trying with the french. It's made it difficult to practice.
