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.

The E is not mandatory.

It can indeed be dropped, but cela isn't too common in speech to begin with so you'll much more commonly hear ça

@random snow Please answer in the threads in the #salle-de-classe channels! Thanks!

When the e is not pronounced, it's usually irony, you should pronounce it (and in every day langage, we use the word "ça" or the c in "c'est")
