Instead of "Je ne fais pas de bruit," is "Je ne fais aucun de bruit" also acceptable?

Using merci de.....

I'm reading an example using merci de with an action already done. It says to use Merci de + [Infinitif Passé] and gives the following example:

C'était très difficile, merci de m'avoir aidée.

Please, can you explain why aidée is feminine?

airplane food

Is there a special term for "airline food" that captures the reality of how terrible it is?!  In U.S. we make jokes about it.

Use pourquoi

Why not just use pourquoi?? This lesson seems unduly complicated

a commentI found it helpful to know the original usage of the passe simple, which was absorbed into the perfect tense when spoken . It worked alongside the imperfect where the imperfect gave a habit the passe simple was one off. I wish the passe simple would be used more!

Completer - in future simple

The lesson - and the quizzes based on it - use the grave accent for all 6 endings in this tense.

But all of the online conjugators that I have checked with use the acute accent.

As do all of the exmples in context on the web.
