3 months agoAs a french, I’m very surprised by this, as when I see a text in French side-by-side with its English translation, the English version is usually shorter. It may be a difference between speech and text, but it’s still surprising.
I really thought the information density of French was pretty low, compared to English or Breton, for example.
There is also https://www.map.signalbox.io/ for the British mainland (not sure if it’s the right word, I’m not from there).
