I was referring to Quebecois. Legolas Send a noteboard - 06/01/2010 05:49:43 PM
I seriously doubt mutual intelligibility would be possible between a Cajun and a Parisian.


I don't know much about Cajun French, but I can easily believe that it would be tricky. Of course, a Parisian might have some trouble with a Quebecois farmer, too... not the other way around, though. But then, the Cajuns only have their dialect and use English in more formal contexts (right?), whereas the Quebecois may speak tricky dialects, but use standard French (okay, standard French with that fantastic Quebecois accent) in other contexts.

What did you think of Three Men on a Boat? One of the more underrated comedies out there, IMO. *NM* RandAllThor - 01/01/2010 12:02:36 AM 535 Views
I think Jerome K Jerome was brilliant, and wish there were more like him. Tim - 01/01/2010 11:21:07 AM 922 Views
That is a great dedication. *NM* Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:12:34 PM 348 Views

thats what I was doing too imlad - 02/01/2010 07:13:47 PM 935 Views
The Night Watch series just got progressively worse. I liked all of them, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/01/2010 10:18:15 PM 400 Views
Ha! When you first said "mastering"- rebelaessedai - 01/01/2010 11:51:16 PM 768 Views
Of course. It's the 50-book challenge, not the 50-SciFi-or-Fantasy-book challenge. Tim - 02/01/2010 12:14:59 AM 926 Views
I would never have considered case books "books" for purposes of the 50-book challenge. Tom - 02/01/2010 05:41:02 PM 975 Views
It's a textbook, not a case book. Tim - 02/01/2010 08:43:42 PM 1111 Views
I think even books we called textbooks were essentially case books. Tom - 03/01/2010 05:42:45 PM 894 Views

Do you really figure... Legolas - 05/01/2010 01:57:54 AM 924 Views
I don't think it would take less time than for Portuguese or French, but... Tom - 05/01/2010 04:53:27 AM 940 Views
Right, fair enough. Legolas - 06/01/2010 05:21:09 AM 846 Views
I spent 8 months of those 2 years in Russia. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:08:14 AM 813 Views

There's always Amharic, I suppose Larry - 05/01/2010 07:32:50 AM 1006 Views
For some reason I always want to read that word as though it were in Gaelic Tom - 05/01/2010 01:49:44 PM 835 Views
Well, at least it's not Klingon! Larry - 05/01/2010 11:30:48 PM 830 Views
I have a cursory knowledge of Old Persian and a smattering of Gatha Avestan...why do you ask? Tom - 07/01/2010 06:09:20 AM 800 Views
You languageist! jh - 05/01/2010 03:09:59 PM 763 Views

Oh, come on. Finnish is all kinds of awesome. Legolas - 05/01/2010 05:01:16 PM 826 Views
I know the word "omenapiraaka" means "apple pie" - I went to the Helsinki McDonald's. Tom - 07/01/2010 06:10:49 AM 857 Views
Congratulations, that is twice my total Stephen - 01/01/2010 04:18:06 PM 769 Views
Since 50 and a half seems to be quite a popular number this year, here are mine. wahooka - 01/01/2010 04:38:09 PM 1025 Views
I think I managed, too. However, after that, my reading just... ceased. jh - 01/01/2010 06:02:16 PM 898 Views
There's a lot of those I have not heard of. rebelaessedai - 01/01/2010 11:57:04 PM 919 Views

What did you think of Foucault's Pendulum? Camilla - 02/01/2010 08:42:02 PM 828 Views
Because I'm not American. Tim - 03/01/2010 05:50:36 AM 770 Views
Yes, but you lot have lost so much more... Larry - 03/01/2010 06:03:38 AM 785 Views
Is the subjunctive any more alive in America than in Britain? Tim - 03/01/2010 06:23:09 AM 828 Views
It is where I live Larry - 03/01/2010 07:46:15 AM 947 Views
Not in any meaningful sense. I suppose there are some irregularities which could be subjunctive... Ghavrel - 03/01/2010 09:54:46 AM 865 Views
Are you talking about African-American English? Tim - 03/01/2010 11:34:30 PM 976 Views

The example I used was AAVE, yes. Ghavrel - 04/01/2010 02:10:23 AM 879 Views
Would y'all ( ) say it's the same situation as with French (and I think Spanish)? Legolas - 05/01/2010 02:05:59 AM 796 Views
Not exactly Larry - 05/01/2010 04:00:04 AM 820 Views
Isn't that just a gerund? Ghavrel - 06/01/2010 08:20:00 AM 827 Views
Close, but not exactly Larry - 06/01/2010 10:17:34 AM 916 Views
All I know about French is what's in Louisiana, and it's just completely incomprehensible. Ghavrel - 06/01/2010 08:20:53 AM 788 Views

Possibly. It'd probably be worth checking what he meant. *NM* Tim - 05/01/2010 10:59:32 AM 355 Views
Illuminatus! is so great. I finished the trilogy last year, I think. Panorphaeon - 05/01/2010 06:58:14 AM 815 Views
If this will be your first Eco, I definitely recommend The Name of the Rose rather than FP. *NM* Tim - 05/01/2010 11:13:07 AM 362 Views
THE NAME OF THE ROSE is certainly a better introduction to Eco. Jacob - 05/01/2010 06:09:04 PM 793 Views
I finished as well. Craig - 08/01/2010 03:51:25 AM 946 Views
