Anybody else have issues with the new font?

There seems to be a new font used for posts in the forum. The font looks smaller and "sturdier". In my opinion it is harder to read than the original one. Also, it is more difficult to distinguish bold from regular. I don't know what you guys think, but I'm no fan if it.

Imparfait to Express HabitsThis is a wonderful training exercise on using the imperfect past tense. It helped me begin to understand when using the conditional would be an improper choice. This said, American's automatically apply the conditional tense when we see the word "would." So...is the conditional tense applied more in an "if then" context? Such as, "Marie répondrait à Paul, mais elle avait peur."

“J’ai rendez-vous avec mon amie”

This question was asked in a previous quiz, and the answer was you cannot tell the gender of the ‘“amie”. I understand that the ending e makes it a female friend, but if the question is verbalized, that is not available information. In the quiz I just took, the answer is ‘a woman’. I am confused as to how to answer this question in future quizzes, as two different answers have been given.

Kwiziq scoring

I achieved 100 % in A1 level, then I achieved 100 % in A2 level and then in B1 level. But when I started working on B2 level I found out that my A1 and A2 are not 100% any more. Why? Is it normal practice or something went wrong?

Avoir (conditional) dire- to look like

"on aurait dit un savage" translates to it looked like a savage, but I'm unsure of the rule for that. Is there a lesson on this?

Nous ________ les cheveux.

Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly? I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". The rule quite clearly states that the past participle should be modified to agree in number and gender though. We is inherently plural, so shouldn't an "s" be added to the end? Or am I missing something here?

Nous n'avons pas été déçus du tout

Would there be anything wrong with saying 'Nous n'avons pas du tout été déçus' ?

why isn't 'a commencé' in imperfect as I thought explaining a story called for it? I get it happened at a fixed point but its a description being told

Expression il y a

Hi as I am learning about this expression I'm trying to find an audio clip with just this expression to practice saying it by itself but, I can not find it.

Thank you
