Taille vs Pointure

Why did none of the answers for shoes size have the option pointure as a vocabulary choice? I thought you weren't supposed to use taille with shoe sizes.

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor

Another depuis-question!!!"I have lived in Paris for one year." means that the speaker has, in the past, lived in Paris but isn't living there anymore. Therefore, I would expect "J'ai habité à Paris depuis un an." to be the correct translation. But, alas, "J'habite à Paris depuis un an." is provided as correct. However, does that not imply that the speaker is still living in Paris???? -- Chris.
