What is the difference between "il semble que" and "il paraît que" in terms of usage?

Even Aurelie gives "garcon vilain" as an example where the adjective can go after the noun.  (ugly boy versus mean boy).

yet the quiz won't accept it.  This should be changed

This is a really comprehensive lesson. Cécile even provided a list of words beginning with "h" in the comments above but included only nouns and verbs. It would be great if you added a list of adjectives beginning with "h" so we can see which ones follow which rules for "tout" all in one place. 

I would guess that 'j'espere que' take the subjunctive, even when the clause refers to the future.  But the clause is actually in the future!  So does this mean that the future trumps a subjunctive? (I understand that there is no future-subjenctive)

I dutifully look up vocabulary for the writing exercises, and usually I arrive at the wrong thing and not colloquial thing. Why not just give us a list with the exercise?

In this song, divin enfant is pronounced as if it were divine enfant.  When is the liaison sounded in other adjective-noun groups?
