A J5 snip

For them as interested...

Jani walked slowly, careful not to shake the pieces as they slipped into place. Too many years working with smugglers and other criminal forms. Too many years working the same games herself. Never shit a shitter, her father always told her. Only he said it in Acadian French, which made it sound so much nicer.

Neat.

I wish I could say it in Acadian French.

It's been a while since I used French

SEE? It eve reads more nicely in French.

Acadian French wouldn't sound quite as nice. As variations go, it is to Parisian French as Puerto Rican Spanish is to Castilian. Many truncated words, frex. But still, nicer than the Anglo-Saxon.
