Here a remarkable page. Thank you for this ant work. There is of course the intellectual curiosity to discover these sites of French. But l’intérêt of this item is a lot deeper one. In this economical crisis that exacerbates the fold on oneself, gibberish managérial English French is lived as a treason. Then qu’un language in correct French helps to position itself and apprehend the delicate positions to a just distance. Previously to any delicate explanation, I always recommend an appointment with oneself in front of a white leaf. For my party, two sites m’apportent a lot: language sauce pricking, the blog of the corrective ones of the monde.fr, and Philolog, professor Simone Manon, that I consult as the C’éclair philosophy.
With all my gratitude,
Very friendly,
Gilles
