#Wisconsin #HighCourt to hear #arguments on whether an 1849 #abortion #ban remains #valid.

#Abortionrights #advocates are optimistic, as #liberal #justices control the #court, with one openly supporting #abortionrights on the #campaign #trail. Monday's arguments are largely a #formality, with a #ruling expected in weeks.

It can be difficult to deal with the difference in #formality between #English and #French. With students, I therefore suggest we use first names in English, and first name + “vous” in French, which seems to me the closest approximation in formality.

Any thoughts by native speakers of either language? (University context.)

#Formality

Dear John,

I am writing to you about formal writing.

In a formally written message, you open by saying the person's name with a greeting, and below that, you summarize the contents of the message.

After you've written what you need to write, you write some form of goodbye, and then write your name.

Sincerely,

Émilie Fecteau
