French language Q&A Forum

Just wondering - in the sentence, "vous chantez 'imagine' de John Lennon," I learned in Rosetta Stonte that authorship of a book, song, etc. was 'par', not 'de.' Is that corrrect?

ou avec "exister"

"Il n'existe plus de chocolat?

Sorry, I pressed enter on previous question, please ignore.

I thought it was short for parce que which doesn't make sense for its second use in this exercise. 

L'Académie officially changed the rules on this a couple of months ago: https://www.france24.com/fr/20190228-academie-francaise-feminisation-langue-metier

As recently as 2014 they said the feminized forms (professeure, écrivaine, etc.) were "véritables barbarismes", but now their use "ne constitue pas une menace pour la structure de la langue"... They specify that the e at the end must never be pronounced though, so it's effectively just a spelling change.
