    " ... convey and assign ... " The flourishes and imprecise script does make this more than the usual challenge of reading cursive writing.

    jumelle/jumelles (féminin) = twin/twins (f.) = twin girl/girls jumeau/jumeaux (masculin) = twin/twins (m.) = twin boy/boys Not just for talking about children. Can be used to talk about my twin or a parent who is a twin, etc. jumeaux identiques = vrais jumeaux = jumeaux monozygotes jumeaux fraternels = faux jumeaux = jumeaux dizygotes In biology there are more possibilities but this might be enough for everyday speaking. Another definition of jumelles (usually plural, sometimes singular) is binoculars.

    This is from an episode of Friends. Joey has an audition for a part in a play where the character speaks French. On his C.V., Joey wrote that he speaks French. In reality, he cannot speak it at all. Phoebe tries to tutor him in French. She says a line from the play and, when he tries to repeat it, it sounds like completely different words. She says, "Je m'appelle Claude". What he says sounds like, "Je de coup plau". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqNDRoSdBEg Language learning. We've all been there. It helps the scene that Lisa Kudrow, who plays Phoebe, is married to a French man and has had years to work on her French.

    Watson and Crick with an "r". No one knew the shape of DNA. Watson and Crick were trying to find out. They had a lot of information about the pieces, but not the shape when the pieces were all together. They made physical three-dimensional models of the pieces: the molecules and their atoms. The atoms have bonds that bind with other atoms, but at certain angles. Watson and Crick took their models of pieces and put them together with all the angles correctly positioned. The result was a large double helix.

    The sentence "have received A, B, or C" is the same as "have received A or B or C". If you have any one of the three, you are good. (I looked at that web page of Immigration Canada. It has formatting problems that also make it confusing.)

    Think of the active voice and the passive voice. "You understand me." "I am understood by you." Now, change those to the imperative. For the first one, which is second person singular, the imperative exists: "Understand me!" It may be difficult to make that happen in the hearer, but a forceful or angry person might say that. For the second one, which is first person singular, the imperative does not exist, but you can try to borrow the structure from the first person plural ("let us") and try to communicate a similar meaning: "Let me be understood!" It is forceful. Usually said when the speaker wants to reinforce a point.

    Discreet. A careful reading of the meanings of these three words may help. The spelling, dropping one "e" from "ee" before adding the "ion" ending, makes it difficult.
