I was taught to use que l’on rather than qu’on in order not to sound rude!

Quoique Leçon?"J’étais un peu surpris que les leçons au sujet des conjonctions de subordination n’aient aucune discussion de quoique or de quoi que. J’ai reçu un mail de françaisfacile.com avec un petit leçon au même sujet et je l’ai recherché ici mais je ne l’ai trouvé nulle part. Trop rarement utilisé?"

'pas question de lui emprunter de l'argent' and 'il a des oursins dans le porte-monnaie' I think they have opposite meanings. I don't quite understand

The Low Countries

Hello, I answered a questions that asked what the "Low Countries" were as "Les Pays-bas" which I learned in my French class, were the combination of The Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. But the correct answer was The Netherlands event though the verb was "ont" and not "a" and the Netherlands is a single country. Could you tell me what the actual Low Countries would be in French?
