[fr] error not found? "un interview" #6191

Open tiff opened 2 years ago

tiff commented 2 years ago

C’est le Premier ministre de cette époque, Édouard Philippe, qui a annoncé dans un interview sur TF1 : « Nous avons entendu la colère des Français. Cette taxe sur les carburants n’est pas dans le budget 2019, elle est annulée. ».

Non-native user says, "un interview" is wrong, and we don't detect his. Is he right?

Official sources say this word "oscillates" between feminine and masculine. I've always only heard "une interview". But Larousse, for example, allows both.

@Rebecca-auque, does "un interview" sound weird to you? In that case, we could write a style rule à la "Le mot 'interview' peut être masculin, mais son usage au féminin est plus répandu."

Anyway, it's not a grammar error to write "un interview". But there is a grammalecte rule that disagrees (see screenshot below). I think our current rules don't find everything it finds (see full results), so I don't feel comfortable switching it off just yet. If we can write our own rule that does the same, we could deactivate the grammalecte rule.
