Comme je disais, ça fait désuet, je n'ai pas l'impression que les jeunes l'emploient. FL remplit son objectif si certains apprennent des mots nouveaux ! | |

(or even further to "mais plus gros le lot"). | |

| Aug 31, 2019 at 13:22 | comment | added | Con-gras-tue-les-chiens | I see. In my first phrase, though, doesn't "plus le gros lot est important" sound odd? Perhaps, is it better to say "plus le gros lot est élevé" ? | |
