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.

AI for learning can be very misleading, use it at your own risk, and please don't use it to answer questions here. We're a community based on human interaction and exchanges anyway

And if you say Si c'est facultatif it means if IT's optionnal

Exemples of uses of C'est : C'est magnifique (its beautiful)
