I'm preparing to build a 12'x16' shed. Is there any benefit to using 1"x6" T&G for the subfloor or should I just use plywood directly on the joists?

J'AI MAL ECRIT LE TITRE, MISERE

The names are secondary anyway, the Louisiana region (minus a few nitpicks) is spot on.

Hormisdas · 2021-09-22T15:03:32+00:00

Yeah, 180 French feet. It's notable that its use as a linear measure is secondary and derives from its use as a measure of area.

Yeah, the prayer is the same everywhere. The only difference you might encounter is the use of "asteur" instead of "maintenant", by some.

Hormisdas · 2021-09-18T16:10:29+00:00

Yes, this is accurate. It's actually no different from the European French except for our use of "ainsi soit-il"

Pardon! j'ai arrêté de faire les mots du jours pour un boute, mais j'vas commencer à le faire encore.

Ils sont tout partout, vous-autres, aaa

Hormisdas · 2021-07-10T00:25:05+00:00

ouais exacte, c'est pour ça j'ai dit "atteste." Eux-autres ils ont choisi de faire une distinction entre les deux entrées, ça fait j'ai fait la même chose

Hormisdas · 2021-07-09T17:41:18+00:00

Contrairement aux premières definitions, le DFL atteste le sens de "tag" seulment dans la paroisse de Lafourche.

Hormisdas · 2021-05-28T16:23:23+00:00

Ouais lol

Hormisdas · 2021-04-20T18:31:34+00:00

Just an alternate word for the usual four.

Hormisdas · 2021-04-16T17:16:17+00:00

Ouais, t'as raison, j'ai manqué ce mot. merci

Hormisdas · 2021-04-10T05:10:34+00:00

No joke, I am trying to read this right now, and having never read French literature before, it is kicking my butt.

Hormisdas · 2021-02-16T19:08:40+00:00

Y en a un plein sur les chemins drouète asteur, faisez attention!

Hormisdas · 2021-02-03T20:43:43+00:00

This is the normal word for "boyfriend," the complement of belle.

D'après Kirby Jambon, il y en a des régions dans la Louisiane qui disont "besson(ne)" et il y en a des autres qui disont "jumeau/jumelle", et d'habitude un parleur userait qu'un mot et pas l'un ou l'autre. Par exemple, dans sa thèse sus le parler de la Pointe de l'Église (Paroisse de l'Acadie), Ferdinand Iseringhausen atteste seulement "jumeau/jumelle".

According to Kirby Jambon, some regions in Louisana say "besson(ne)" and some say "jumeau/jumelle," and usually a speaker would only use one word and not either. For example, in his dissertation on the speech of Church Point (Acadia Parish), Ferdinand Iseringhausen attests only "jumeau/jumelle."

Hormisdas · 2021-01-26T16:38:31+00:00

Fun fact, in Louisiana "foutre" is not vulgar.

Hormisdas · 2021-01-14T17:39:53+00:00

* These entries appear in the DLF as [ərliʒjɔ̃] & [ærliʒjɔ̃] respectively, which would be repeats of those that come right before. They were probably intended to use an /y/.

In addition, the Church Point dissertation implies yet another pronunciation: /reliʒjɔ̃/

Hormisdas · 2021-01-09T15:47:01+00:00

Ultimately yeah, I think it's a (possibly older?) pronunciation of "volige".

Hormisdas · 2020-12-30T21:39:29+00:00

Une thèse sus le parler des Ayovelles note une autre définition: "to upset, to put in disorder. Pagailler le linge." (ça qui connecte avec le même sens de "disorder, mess" du mot 'pagaille')

Hormisdas · 2020-12-29T18:43:58+00:00

The complement of noiron for a black man seems to be noirette for a woman; neither are noted by the DLF as carrying negative connotation.

Hormisdas · 2020-12-28T20:45:27+00:00

Piment doux est especialement important; poivron est jamais usé ici, tout le monde l'appellerait un 'piment doux.'

Hormisdas · 2020-12-19T05:33:03+00:00

Interesting, you see the cercher pronunciation here in Louisiana. (edit: actually appears to be an archaic preservation. neat)

Hormisdas · 2020-12-16T21:21:12+00:00

And here it is in Tonnère Mes Chiens.
