Gender of regions, counties etc.Ils habitent dans le Yorkshire.They live in Yorkshire.Does this mean all British counties are masculine? And the many regions ending in "-side" eg. Le Merseyside?I am giving up on this topic, for the tenth time (using several websites). I have been doing an hour a day for 3 years, and am no closer to getting a decent score in your test.I am not remotely interested in Swiss cantons, -whatever they are, or American states,- some of which I've heard of, so I have to avoid this topic in all the apps that I use. I'm not suggesting this is your fault, - it's just too hard for me.Still love the website though!!!

Good morning. Respectfully, French Canadian does not only mean Québécois. It includes them and they are in fact a majority but we have many other French Canadians across beautiful country. Thank you.

Note for revision

Note: the penultimate sentence doesn’t correct. It skips over after you submit it.

Do the results of a Notebook quiz affect overall stats shown in Desktop?

I should have submitted this post in the general forum here:

https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions

So I deleted the post from here, and posted it in the other forum, using the same title.

Sorry.
