Is this a spelling due to a language reform ? I am not seeing it here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:French_spelling_reforms_of_1990

Thanks. Paul.
Salut, j'ai trouvè cet exercise:
"..... tableau-... est beau, tandis que ... tableau-... est horrible".

According to https://www.lawlessfrench.com/subjunctivisor/considerer/ this should not be subjunctive. (Strictly speaking)
I am presuming the use of subjunctive here is that the speaker is willing to allow some doubt into her suggestion ? I.e. that She accepts her opinion may not be correct, or that the point is debatable ?

-> Please ignore this question, I can't delete it now, I think it's actually "le meilleur roman qui" which means the subjunctive is used in this context. Does that sound like the correct answer ?
Correct answer given is with ‘nulle part’ at the end. No problem with that but what is wrong with ‘n’importe où’? I’ve looked at the discussions and can’t find a definitive explanation for appropriate use of one over the other. Doesn’t ‘nulle part’ mean nowhere rather than anywhere? Merci as ever for guidance.
Can the verb 'faufiler' be used in this context?
There seems to be a mistake on this page. Everything is in English!
The sentence from Aug 1 RFI. Why the pronoun Y? What is it replacing, since I don't see an "a + verb" or a place that is normally replaced.
