l'écriture (f)The noun 'écriture' (handwriting) is feminine. But apparently the correct translation of "We cannot read his handwriting" is 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire son écriture'. I was using an exercise book and I thought the answer in the back might be a mistake, but Google Translate also comes up with the same translation. La bonne phrase est 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire sa écriture', n'est-ce pas?

Dinde ou dindon?

For this exercise, A Thanksgiving gift, I have searched for turkey, and according to Google, there is dinde, the feminine for turkey and dindon, for masculine. I know in English they don't have genders. My question is, should we put the correct gender in French?

Thank you!
