How would 2.6 be written in French? What does the decimal mean? 

According to Larousse (and wordreference) , as an adjective for the colour purple, either violet or pourpre is correct. Pourpre is not being accepted as a correct alternative in the lesson for 'a purple broom', only « un balai violet » is accepted. 

I know that some may reserve « pourpre » for a darker red, "short" of purple - colour perceptions and names are always subjective.

"Nous sommes partis en avance juste au cas où" 

This is still being marked as incorrect (because it contains the word 'juste').

I have reported it.

Why is it "N'ayons" yet "ne sois pas" - i.e. one has the "pas" but the other doesn't?

Tu aimes 

Can one not say "la semaine passee", to mean the same thing as "la semaine derniere"? (I can't find accents)

Would it be correct to say "Je préfère notre maison QUE la leur" instead of "Je préfère notre maison À la leur" since "que" is often used in comparison?
