Why capitalise "South" in South of France ?

I think this could be a regional difference in English, but unless 'South of France' is a specific region, it does not need a capital S in English either (at least not in Australian English). It is unnecessarily misleading as it is currently written, as the French does not capitalise the S either.

Audrey adore le mercredi/les mercredis

I was marked wrong for "Audrey adore les mercredis". It wanted "Audrey adore le mercredi". But it appears from the web that both are used, even if the singlar version is more popular.

"J'aime le mercredi" has 232,000 hits

"J'aime les mercredis" has 43,300 hits

So shouldn't this lesson cover the duality and shouldn't the quiz question accept both answers?
