jours jours That's weird. I don't think it is "calendar day". That's usually translated as "jour civil" where I come from.

Charlie Bavington Dec 15, 2008:

Ask Seems likely some template-based typo, either as Tony says, or because the word "jours" was already there and the user typed "x jours" w/out noticing - easy done. Weird how a spell check didn't pick up a repeated word. I would certainly ask.
It could, after all, be some weird in-house thing to mean week days not weekends, or full days (not half days)... I dunno. Having it 3 times makes me uneasy.

Bernard Guerra Dec 14, 2008:

I agree - typo It is definitely a typo. The person entered "5 jours" without realizing that the word "jour" was already in the text.

typo d'accord avec Tony

Tony M Dec 14, 2008:

Nope... No, I certainly haven't, Jane. I think it is a typo, or rather an editing error — probably was a blank template document, intended to be filled in as "5 jours (cinq jours)", only it was never done.

could be a single typo that was multiplied by some kind of automated feature in MS-Word??
