Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Because of the "wishful thinking" nature of subjonctive, this is an indirect way of asking for something. You're not directly asking the person to do the task, but rather ask for the task to be done. This use is a bit niche and in most conversations the more direct nature of imperative is preferred.

Poursuivez-le = Chase him
Qu'on le poursuive = I want him chased / He needs to be chased (a bit cumbersome but you get the point)
