Thanks PoppaGator, the French language varies from region to region, as does Angleesh... I found that the Cajuns use a lot of words that aren't heard much anymore in Quebec.... old words and expressions.. much like East Coast Acadians... If you took a person from the backwoods of Alabama to an outport in Newfoundland, he might have trouble with the dialect, ('tho it's all) Anglo until he kissed the cod and had a hit or two of screech...... interesting, n'est-pas?

and thanks for the update on the Quarter... glad I was there in the early 90's a couple of times..... still have some friends out near Lafayette, Breau Bridge and Crowley... I'll get back there sometime, I'm sure of that........ R.
