"long/longue" coming before nouns -- This is tough to remember as an English speaker, since I am so familiar with a "chaise longue" -- is this the major exception to the rule that "long" generally comes before a noun? I see Aurelie's distinction that adjectives before nouns can be figurative and those after descriptive... but calling a chair "long" doesn't seem any more descriptive than calling a path "long," and yet from the lesson the long path is "le long chemin."

Library questions and leaderboardThe library exercises with questions at the end allow me to gain points on the leaderboard.(until unable for two weeks) The dashboard with exercises no longer has questions at the end.(therefore no points on leaderboard) The Notebook exercises also have no questions at the end -again- no points on the leaderboard until 2 weeks go by I really think that you need to rethink this in order to allow students to access more questions, please realise that many people (myself included ) thrive on competition and enjoy competition.YOU HAVE TAKEN THIS AWAY.

Meilleur vs MieuxI've checked this one using the Google translator and it agrees with me that the correct translation should be: Son copain est gentil mais le mien est meilleur (not mieux). Please explain.

Agreement of pronounsJust saw this in an online newsfeed. Accompagnée d'un ami originaire, comme elle, de la région lyonnaise, la victime entreprenait la descente de la Roche de Mio, lorsqu'elle a bifurqué dans le couloir pour repérer un passage sensé raccourcir l'itineraire. Is it correct to have the pronouns all agreeing with la victime, even when the victim was male ?
