Couple of points

1. According to multiple references « faire du lèche-vitrines » is invariable with the plural form of 'vitrines'. However, it appears that the 1990 rectifications accept the singular form. The plural form is still correct but is being red-lined through the 's'.

2. The hint for "Some of them deliver to your door " is to use the plural form of "yours" - I think this is meant to be use the polite form, as the expected script is « votre porte », not « vos portes »

Why a partitive article is not used with "tort" and "raison"

chance, tort and raison are all nouns, and we use "de la chance" but it is not the case for tort and raison.
