accepted Why “de” + infinitive instead of à + “-ant” in this construction?

comment Que veut dire l'expression « bon vivant » ?
Selon la response de M'vy, "Bon vivant" désigne une personne qui aime les bonnes choses de la vie, notamment la nourriture et les boissons raffinées (les plaisirs de la table)." "Un "homme de la ville" va à des restaurants coûteux," est d'accord avec cette reponse. Ma continuation, "et couche avec des jolies femmes. L'équivalent anglo-américain pourrait être high roller," est COMPLEMENTAIRE avec cette reponse.

comment Translation of “Pour que”
Your question is considered "too narrow" (or localized) because it applies to only ONE sentence. You might ask a question about the GENERAL use of "pour que," using your sentence as an EXAMPLE. That would be a question of greater general interest. If you do so, please edit this question instead of creating a new one.

comment What exactly does “savoir faire” refer to?
"Savvy" can be a noun, verb or adjective in (American) English. It's a bit confusing.

comment Differences in meaning depending on placement of “pauvre?”
@My question was not, "can you put this adjective before or after the noun?" but "what are the differences in MEANING when you do so?" Apparently there were several "similar" questions in this regard. But they all use DIFFERENT adjectives with different meanings. Unless there is a "master list" (on this site) of such adjectives, including "pauvre," I do not consider this question a duplicate, and ask that my question be re-opened.

comment Why the pronounciation of “Monsieur?”
@LeVieuxGildas: I said that Monsieur was pronounced MORE LIKE [emphasis added] "Miss-sieur" (to my ear). That does not rule out your more correct transliteration, "Meussieu."
