I am finding this one tricky, because in Québec (where I am living and learning French), professeure is standard (and indeed, is my job title). Is there any way to account for or acknowledge regional differences in spelling and usage within Kwiziq?

“Le moins vite” or “le plus lent” Is one form preferred over the other or is it a matter of personal choice/context?

Does habiter need a prepositionIn my book 501 French verbs it teaches that the verb habiter doesn't require a preposition so, J'habite cette maison, is acceptable.

Is "J'habite à [city] an exception? Is "J'habite [city]" acceptable?

Variable and invariable pronouns

Searching through Google I came across Lawless pieces on variable and invariable pronouns. I'm still not sure how my use of Personne was wrong, or how aucun can be either an adjective or a pronoun, but I can live with that expecting a glimmer eventually, but it would be helpful if you could explain the terminology. Why are they called variable and invariable negative pronouns? Is it because the invariiable ones don't agree, whilst the variable ones do? This is one of those things people who know this stuff take for granted.

Why the answer to "Qui est cette fille?" is " C'est Marie" instead of "Elle est Marie"?

Since 'cette fille' is referring to a specified girl, as explained in case 2b, shouldn't we use 'elle est'?

Thanks
