Cultural context for one of the examples.

Hi, this is more a "is this something people use?"/"What does it mean to the person you say it to" question, not a grammar problem.

The example "La grossesse va bien à ta femme" comes off as eyebrow-raising-rude to my English speaking brain (maybe it's a regional difference? I'm American and from the southeast). Is this something people would actually say/use or would it get you side-eyed around the world? I feel like my brain must be taking it too literally.

La facture instead of la note?

Could one also use « la facture « as well as « la note »?

Penser with tonic/stressed pronounsI'm not sure that it is correct to use a stressed pronoun for the first and second persons with the verb penser.

Is it correct to write "Je te pense" or to write "je pense à toi" ?

I suspect that the former could be misunderstood that the indirect object pronoun "te" might represent the preposition "de" and therefore change the intended meaning?

I'm thinking that we only use the stressed / tonic pronouns with the third person?

Can someone clear this matter up for me, please?
