actually you are quite right. there is a distinction between "squash" and "gourds". the little yellow things are squash, and pumpkins and such are gourds.

Oh, great. Now you've gone and said "gourd". You know what that means, don't you?

"Four for this gourd? Four!!!! Look at it, that's worth ten if it's worth a shekel."

Here, they are all called squash, with a distinction between summer, fall and winter varieties, made with the season they are picked and the tickness of the skin. I worked for years in a grocery store, so I'm certain of the English names, but I couldn't say how those names a spread through Canada.
