Absolutely. Now, how do I sort things out? And eventually clear my name so people searching for my email don’t jump to conclusions regarding my OPSEC…

Have I Been Pwned listed me in the ALIEN TXTBASE Stealer Logs. I went through the Notify me tab, got a verification link to check for my personal records, and all I got was this lousy:

"No domains were found for your email address. Whilst your email address was found in a stealer log, no websites were found alongside it. This can be due to the way the log was formatted."

TL;DR: You could try my email in there, believe credentials were stolen, when that might be recycled leak stuffing.

Better yet: Offer en_CA, en_GB, en_IE, and en_US, with appropriate flags.

(Bonus point for fr_CA with the CA-QC flag)

Same experience, I wilfully switched my handwriting to American 1 (one) as a single vertical line with the European 7 (seven) having an horizontal line midway for disambiguation in a multicultural work environment.

In the version from Google Translate, "trop souvent" adds a notion of frequency like "too often" would, "avant" is shoehorned as a misplaced compulsory match for "before" when "too many times before" already felt like a ready-made phrase at this point.

In yours, "salua" would likely pass as a greeting, while "excessivement" would rather refer to the silly moves she made. Definitely harder to read for me.

I agree the "before" is the hard part to get right, I process "too many times before" as "too many times already", emphasis on reaching that number of times, given the song's context. Maybe we should treat "said […] before" as a smoothest form of "had said […]" to sing.

I'd go for "Elle a tant de fois dit au revoir" (9 syllabes).

Change my French mind.
