Why is On besoin d'amore incorrect? Wouldn't either On or Nous be correct?

I wrote 'les chauves-souris' . Your text was 'les chauve-souris'. After completion of the dictee, I checked dictionaries which add s to chauve in the plural form. ??

I have  celebrated Hanoucca with my family and friends for many years. We never have a Hanoucca bush! This is a symbol that is related to Christmas and has nothing to do with Hanukah. Please correct this, it is misleading and upsetting for people to think that we decorate a bush. 

Thank you for your wonderful website and weekly exercises.

The lesson notes an exception for naître (correctly) and for apparaître. It does not clearly state the exception for apparaître - although I note in discussion it has been mentioned it is because it also conjugates with être in passé composé. As I understand it, and checking other verb conjugation sites, this is correct but not what is shown on the verb conjugation site of Lawless French https://www.lawlessfrench.com/verb-conjugations/apparaitre/

In this sentence:

Quand vous voyagerez en France, vous serez très occupé.

should 'occupé' be 'occupés' to agree with the plural 'vous?'

Thank you!

mais comme je prends froid facilement, 

mais comme je prends facilement froid.

Both are correct.

I just took the same test twice about "A l'aéroport". The first time I you said I had 7 correct, 1 near-miss and 5 wrong. I do not believe any were wrong. I then took it again. 

This time I went through the vocabulary provided by Lawless for L'aéroport.  My marks for the second time were 9 correct, one near miss, one unanswered and two incorrect. Absurd! The apparent unanswered one I had answered and correctly. It was the first question. Why on earth your system ignored my correct answer I have no idea but it is very frustrating. 

The two apparent wrong answers were not wrong. I used the vocabulary you provided. One said that my use of "bagages enregistré" was wrong and I should have used "bagages en soute"! I used "bagages en soute" in the first quiz and had it marked incorrect! 

What on earth is going on?

How can anyone have any confidence in how you mark these quizzes?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Is there any logic to the gender of body parts or is it just random to be memorized?
