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.

[idle coyote]

ça c'est une contraction
Parce que le mot "avion" commence par une voyelle

[daring turret]

Le or la turns into l' when the next word starts with a vowel or a mute H.

Avion starts with a vowel, so l' is used instead of le.

(Do note that the mute H is only a grammar convention, you don't pronounce the H in any case.)
