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.

yeah I just feel like in English it wouldn't be used in this context where he used it, or at least it's much rarer
I'm not sure but I think in English it works more like a reply
like someone mentions that idk your company makes good profit, and then you can say if we make good profit it's because blablabla
but in French it feels like they just use it out of the blue, like "un-prompted"

La carte bancaire a beau être un concentré de nouvelles technologies, elle est déjà en train de se dématérialiser.
D'ailleurs, si on peut payer en sans contact avec nos smartphones, c'est grâce à cette antenne compacte contre la batterie qui fonctionne comme celle des cartes bancaires.

It just happens to be a more natural/emphatic way of saying things in french
