eight days later....(sorry)

I live in Quebec city and we play in french, some books are avaible in
french from France (Jeux Descartes) but we must pay almost the double of the
english price for them. So we usually buy them in english.

Since our Shadowrunner team is based at Seattle we assume that our
characters talk in English or "City Speak" sometimes. We often use enlish
words here
and there. The text we must read aloud are often victim of the direct
translation from the GM or a player, or simply photocopied and given to the
players. This was the case some years ago when i began playing A#&# (and
other games).

It seems the case in the other langages as well, that's the idea i
got from the other post.
