I have severely underestimated the amount of time this would take
#TLDR: haven't been writing fic because I've been secretly translating a book about 24H of Le Mans for my husband#my mom gifted him the book for the century anniversary of Le Mans but. man does not speak French so#Anyway what the fuck was up with the concept of the biennale and triennale cup in Early Le Mans??? Funky#Loscar baby I'll come back to you I promiseeeee#moss.txt#Also this is just my least favorite type of stuff to translate#The french authors use loooong run on sentences with way too many commas#And obviously translation always has some of your style in it but you're also supposed to keep the structure close to og if you can#also also ALSO. their preface pissed me off.#“hoping these few pages will encourage you to share the passion with a little Côme - little Martin or little Pierre”#Right because motorsports is only for guys right???#Vous étiez pas foutus de mettre au moins un nom féminin ?? Je suis déçu Ouest-France#Anyway!!!! Good day
