I dont quite understand the necessity of complicating life by using "a ce que" when we can simply use "que" with no losses in meaning. Is there really a difference?

Merci

accentFrom today's writing challenge. How come "They are colored" translate as "Ils sont colorés" but "They are multicolored" becomes "Ils sont multicolores" (without accent) ?

French on-line media resourcesAwhile back, you sent an email with 6 or 7 links to French on-line media resources. For instance, one of them was for canalplus for the latest "news" done by marionettes. Could you/would you please list these in one place on Lawless French. Thank you very much.

Merci de venir

Why can’t merci de venir be translated as thanks for coming?

en venir à, en être

I have recently started to notice verb structures using en, where the en turns out not to be a pronoun, but seems to be part of an expression. I am having trouble translating

en venir à

en être

S'en vouloir would seem to fall into the same category. I don't know if there are other verbs like this. Is there a general way to interpret the en in these cases?

Mini KwizzesIt seems that the mini kwizzes have disappeared. I can view a lesson, scroll down (using my smartphone or my laptop) but I simply can't see the kwizzes. Have they been removed?

égal (à)Is there any case where à is needed? Or is this just a matter of preference? Thanks.
