It is not surprising that neither of you, pedant and troll have never seen my television program on PBS. In the USA, PBS is a public broadcasting service, hence its acronym. Now do not get confused. The name for PBS is a wee-bit misleading. I don't know if you can get PBS in your area. This can be why you have never seen my television program.

I appreciate you discovered that Stephan Yan has a similar program in Canada and his show has a similar name as mine. You are an average detective, but not good. Just average. A good detective would not use wikipedia to base their entire investigation and conclusion on. Are you surprised Stephan Yan and I are not related? You come off that way. Let me tell you some advice. In life, you will often discover people with the same name or pseudonym are not always related with each other. A lot of people understand that. There was no reason to quote that Stephan Yan and I aren't related. Further, you will learn that just because Stephan Yan and I are Asian, enjoy sharing the culinary arts with the world and our name/pseudonym are similar, it doesn't mean only one of us can use puns. It's common for different people to use the same puns.

The romanization of Cantonese, Mandarin or any logogram leads to confusion for many. Back to false friends. False friends are words in different languages that either spelled similar or sound similar but have entirely different meanings. I see the trouble you are having. A homophone is similar to a false friend. A homophone is a word in one language that sounds the same as another word in the same language, but have different meanings. Homophones can contain puns. Homophone examples: poor and pour, their and there, meat and meet. That should help you learn about homophones and false friends. It can be difficult to learn about homophones and false friends, but if Yan can, you can too.
