Kissed themselves

In English we do not say they kissed themselves. I see this has been discussed before. It is an incorrect translation

General vs Specific statement

Hello, I am a little confused on what makes the following example a general statement: La jupe coûte 30 euros. - C’est cher!

Based off another lesson on using C’est vs il/elle est, it seems to me like the above statement is commenting on a specific item and should instead be:

La jupe coûte 30 euros. - Elle est chère!

What is the difference here? Merci!

He had more experience than I did'He had more experience than I did'is translated as ' Il avait plus d'experience que moi' I think that should be a translation of ' He had more experience than me'. Whereas 'Il avait plus d'experience que j'avais' which may not be grammatical or good french (is it? )but does not convert 'than I did', to 'than me'. This kind of approximation in translation whilst necessary in real life is not helpful in the learning process as we are having to guess at what you want .
