Ok thank you for the feedback. I don't consider this as preciousness rather
like the origin, a bit like Greek and Latin are the main roots of the French
language. Anyway, since I would have preferred keeping the feminine (and
discovering LO contained "un espace fin insécable", I would have changed it to
"une espace fine insécable"). I prefer letting you make the change.
