Add le/la poêle to list on nouns changing meaning with gender ?
I have recently come across le poêle (as one of the words for) - stove; la poêle - frying pan/skillet. Fairly common kitchen terms, so may be worth adding to the list?

Yes I'm aware of the male version of page is. I wanted to point out that it is not included in the list on the page "https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/learn/theme/3409284". It caught my attention because all the other words on the page have a male and female version, except for "page". Should it be added?

Thank you for pointing this out Maarten but as you will appreciate, there is a limit to how many words we can add to a page.
Bonne Continuation!

Le moule (mould) needs qualification.
I had to resort to my dictionary as this was not clear which type of mould was meant.
A shape as opposed to a fungus as in going mouldy.
Hi Anna,
Thanks for pointing this out as it wasn't clear -
Le moule = a cake tin or a mould ( mold in American English) or a cast which gives some medium its shape
La moule = a mussel
I have removed the other example as it created confusion.
To say mildew/ mold (the fungus), you would use 'moisissure' or 'mildiou'
but not relevant here.
Hope this helps!

What is the male version of page? It is not included here. I think it is pageboy or servant
Hi Tom,
At a wedding, un page will be a pageboy.
In medieval times, un page was a young noble boy attached to the services of the King or Queen.
Hope this helps!
Bonjour Tom !
Indeed, "le page" had been skipped, but thanks to your eagle eyes, it's now been remedied :)
Merci et bonne journée !

Hi Tom,
I see what you mean, it has been missed out. I will flag it up.
