So this isn’t really library technology related, but I learned a new French adverb today, so I thought I’d share.
According to Reverso, quasiment is an adverb that means “almost” or “nearly”.
Two of their examples are:
Le film est quasiment fini.
The film is nearly finished.
Quasiment jamais.
Hardly ever. (Me: Almost never.)

I first learned about the word from a fransaskoise friend of mine who spelled it “casiment”.
Apparently that’s a fairly frequent colloquial spelling of the word.
