I'm curious about the use of the future tense throughout this paragraph. Was that a stylistic decision? In English, I can imagine the same paragraph using either present tense or even conditional tense. Would those tenses also be acceptable in French instead of future tense?

Ce n'est vraiment pas juste !

Does “ Ce n'est vraiment pas juste !” translate to “It’s not really fair!” or “It’s really not fair!”? In English the latter has a much stronger sense of injustice associated with it.

Wrong rule for adjective placementA few years ago, Kenneth asked this question:

“This lesson is kind of confusing me. At school I learned that the superlative must come after the noun unless the adjective would come before the noun, and in that case the placement would be a choice. The French About page on superlatives also states this rule. So wouldn't "Marie est la plus intelligente fille de la classe" be incorrect?”

I am also confused and would appreciate clarification.
