Is it necessary to use guillemets when quoting in French, or may one use English-style doublequotes? @Jez not as much, but you always need an inflexible reference to refer to. And you'll see, the Académie française will be a frequent reference for this site :-) |

How can one say “good morning” in French? That's why I don't like to say 'Bonsoir', I never know when I can start to use it... It's always the morning somewhere in the world :-) |

Is it necessary to use guillemets when quoting in French, or may one use English-style doublequotes? @Jez: kinda true, but is it right to change an established rule because of an inadequate tool (the keyboard) or our lack of patience to learn how to properly do it? |

Quand doit-on commencer un mot par une majuscule (noms de mois, de lieux, etc.)? Ah, je m'attendais à cette question :-) Comme dit Gilles, il existe des règles bien précises concernant l'emploi des capitales et des majuscules (qui sont différentes et souvent interverties...), voir notamment albin-michel.fr/La-Majuscule-c-est-capital--EAN=9782226143891 |
