correct your "correction" Explanation: "Moyennement" is plain wrong, "moyennant" may be acceptable, though I think that bit of the French should be rephrased ("Le volume des contrats était de 50 000 km2 en moyenne par saison..." ?). "échelles" (plural) Delete the 'thousands' comma, unless Canadian French uses it. |
