Great tool

Get something else

This may be a good reference or an alternative to something more expensive, but if you really want a good reference to the Cajun French language, look elsewhere. Everything is spelled in a very bad, phonetic, sort of way. The information is accurate, but the spellings leave me to think that this writer doesn't have much respect for the language.
