I would just like to say that my parents were merely pawns in my game of TDF Roulette: I bought them the Tenor tix faute de mieux. and then when SPacific suddenly appeared, I decided they'd like it better.

And you are so right that the word “faute ” has a moral connotation to it.

I still have the “barème” in mind : a grammar “faute ” was 4 points off out of 20, a spelling faute was 2 points off, an “accent” faute was 4 points off too if a “grammatical ” accent, one point only for a simple accent.

And by the way, thank you for discretely correcting MY “faute .”
