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.

None of those are fake or wrong definitions. What do you mean?

Well, "shedding light on the matter", "getting to the bottom of it" and "clearing the air" all have very related meanings and can be interchangeable depending on the context. So yes, you can use "tirer l'affaire au clair" in the contexts where you'd use those three.
