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.

An example of this last name would be:
De La Fontaine
De Villiers

[dapper oak]

tbh, you're much more likely to run into the preposition "chez"

for this use case

but if you did need to say "la maison de" you wouldn't drop a de before someone's name if the name started with de

"la maison de de la Croix" for instance
