I would buy it if the shipping was reasonable. But $49 for shipping a $50 game? What do they do? Individual delivery by personal courier?

Fetchez -- which is funnier because the word doesn't exist in french and it's proper franglais.

Not in that French, but my army time included some phrases like "quest-ce qui se shake?" And "comment ça-haps?".

As long as the 22me were talking slow enough that it didn't sound like "wawawawa" then we heard a lot of fromage like this. And I'm not gonna accuse a 22me of speaking mere franglais! :-D

As you're coming from lemmy.ca I'm going to assume you're Canadian. And not from Corsica, nor a guppy. In which case.

Canadian French is so fucked up. I worked in mineral exploration for a long time, and for whatever reason, a lot of drillers in the industry came from Val d'Or or similar, even if they're drilling in northern Manitoba. I'd hear things like "qu'est-ce que fuck man, the lines, ils ont gelée" great times.
