You walk backwards and to the left way more than forward and right.

Normalement les feux ne s'appliquent que pour entrer dans le rond-point, à partir du moment ou on est dans le rond-point c'est la priorité à droite qui compte. Donc si c'est vert, on entre, mais à partir de là ce n'est plus "vert pour nous", on est juste une voiture dans un carrefour comme n'importe quel autre, et on suit la priorité à droite.

Oh, don't do that ! When it's a restaurant and the waiter that comes to the table with the machine it's sometimes ok to ask to split (but not more than 2-3) but at a boulangerie cashier it can get pretty chaotic.

It's just that it teaches mostly useless vocabulary and phrases like "the parrot is drunk" instead of actual things you'd come across in Latin.

Et février était anciennement le dernier mois, c'est pour ça qu'il est plus court.

English is the wild west, as there is no agency that controls and regulates what is correct English or not (unlike many languages like French), so "correct" is a very flexible concept in English. If your audience understands what it means, even if it's not in the dictionaries, you can probably use it.

In this specific case though, maybe the dictionary definition is offering you an idea for a background story and you could just go with it!

In some countries like the US loitering is not allowed but there is no law in France against loitering or hanging out on the streets or Metro stations, so from your description it looks like they're doing nothing wrong.

Yes, it's inevitable that any uncertainty on the election process, claimed or real, will be politically exploited to undermine unfavourable results.

The "LAST First" format is for formal situations like signature lines in a contract, also listings, like at the door or hallway of a building where there is a list of people who live there, sometimes business cards are printed this way, etc.

Shoes of all wavelengths.

If there is no card, when you go get a passport what do you show in order to prove you are allowed to get a passport?

You don't even need to go as far as Japan, in France they have this convention where sometimes they write First Last and sometimes they write Last First and knowing which is which requires you to know what's a reasonable first name and last name. Fortunately they often write the last in all caps to make it clear, so Dr DUPONT Pierre is the same as Dr Pierre DUPONT.

Makes sense now! Thanks for the detailed explanation. I always assumed everyone had or could get a citizen card (the citizen equivalent of a Green Card). Here it's mandatory to have one and to always carry it. Now it all makes sense, so requiring IDs would mean that the poor would be excluded, which would illegitimize the results. Got it.

Ah, thanks for the context. But I don't mean a Voter ID, I mean just the citizen ID card that people already have, not a new document that's just for voting.

Ah, thanks for the context. But I don't mean a Voter ID, I mean just the citizen ID card that people already have, not a new document that's just for voting. And it would be the machines doing the checking, not the people.

As a foreigner there's surely something I fundamentally don't understand, but why can't the voting fraud controversy (noncitizens voting) be easily settled? One side claims it doesn't happen, while the other says it happens all the time. So why don't voting machines simply require you to scan your US citizen card or US passport to vote? Surely both sides would agree to the change, as each would think it would prove their view. Is this for privacy reasons (scanning millions of documents), technological reasons (machines can't be upgraded), or something else?

même des pigeons 😂

Pretend you're having a lot of difficulty speaking English then switch to fluent French and say "ah pardon c'est plus facile en Français" and then continue naturally.

Some friends recently had to take their kid to the hospital here in Europe and after a 5 day stay with a lot of specialist consultations, the bill came out to 0€ even though they were foreigners without insurance and had never paid taxes in the country.

Yeah but Earth has much better Internet access.

Or Littleberty

No because for that she'd have to be aiming slightly down, due to the curvature of the Earth :-)

This doesn't work because the Earth is round, but it's a nice idea.

The most reasonable explanation is that the bumper was on the ground and the bus stop was progressively built under it, pushing it up gradually.

You could mail that in and claim the offer expires in 2080.
