I think my reasoning goes that in french, a trailing s denotes a plural much more regularly than in english (or so it seems to me, I have no way to measure this in a serious way). I know the grammar rule that says that "James's bi

I knew nothing about Schitt, next to nothing about audio, but I hold a MSc in EE and CS and I'm the CTO of a Saas company. This book is definitely a good read, full of insight and fun to read

Except Capitaine Train had to go (almost? can remember the details) to court in 2009 to gain access to SOCRATE, the SNCF booking system. Capitaine is competing with Voyages SNCF and SNCF themselves. They both operate and sell tickets. (And

EU being "a single country of multiple states" is purely a myth. First, you are refering to Schengen Area, which is a subset of the EU. Second, and more importantly, several countries, such as France, keep "special cases"

There wouldn't be worker protections if unions did not exist. They pushed for paid holidays, medical leave, safety, etc. In the european country where I live, unions made all of this possible until the 1970s. Since then, unionization got le
