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.

Oui mais parce que la question parlait de professions et d'occupations, j'y ai répondu pour les professions et les occupations. C'est pas général.
