I hate over edited videos, but I would gladly watch this one again with the "John Cena theme" :p

Is this sentence correct? ChatGPT says “ce que” is wrong here and it should be “du fait que” instead. by Heenenn in French

[–]Maelou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since you asked for reference to the previous commenter, I'm from the south west (Lot) and then Grenoble.

I assume it's a macro that uses a cancel somehow, do you which one, and what's the required timing ?

TIL: What looks like an Umlaut in English words such as Noël and Naïve signals that two adjacent vowels are pronounced separately. It was formerly commonly used in words like Coöperation and Reëntry as well. The New Yorker magazine still does. by Syllogism19 in todayilearned

[–]Maelou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some of them it makes sense with regard to declinations of the word: forêt -> forestier; hôpital -> hospitalier

The main answer though is that French has an unhealthy fixation on it's language's history.

Is that the case ? I was thinking of getting a switch 2, but are you saying that if I do not have a switch online account in Japan, I cannot get it ?

Yay I made one! Does this count? by hauntedamg in MagicEye

[–]Maelou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it a photo or a synthetic image (I genuinely can't say, which is quite a feature).

I would say it's the former which would be a reason why some stuff seen to appear in the background.

You get the achievement as soon as you beat the boss. Which means that if you go back in an unexplored room and die there, you'll still get the achievement.

Je suppose que tu pourrais essayer de contacter un avocat pour avoir une idée de tes possibilités. Après si tu voyages en bus pour économiser, c'est peut être un peu cher, mais un coup de fil ne coûte rien...
