	Why do you have -EAU in the explanation for facteur and horreur? What adjective does 'rumeur' come from? Merci is feminine when it means mercy but masc. when it means thanks (e.g. un grand merci).

	sorry the -EAU should have read -EUR (now corrected) and I'm not sure about the verb for rumeur. I got that rule out of a grammar book, which stated that example, but I have removed it from the quiz to save confusion. As for merci, I didn't know the gender changed on the meaning so un grand merci for pointing that out to me :)
