This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.
3. NO MEMES

As a French speaker I had never heard of this, but I looked it up and it's indeed the case specifically for circumflex accents (ê, ô, â, î) and not the others.
A neat resource (in French naturally) that I found on this:

If lemmy has an active TIL community, this would be a fantastic thing to post to it.
I'm a native English speaker so I'm sure it's one of those interesting things they taught in school that a native speaker would have no need to learn. But it explains why many English words have an s when the modern French word doesn't since so many words were borrowed into English from Old French.
At the start of the word it's an acute accent. Like in école or état.
