Re glacials/glaciaux and finals/finaux
Hi, Just to confirm that glacials/glaciaux and finals/finaux can be interchanged, with no rule as to when to use each one? Thanks, Catherine
This question relates to:French lesson "Forming the plural of French adjectives ending in -al (exceptions)"

Bonjour Catherine !
Yes that's correct, both spellings are perfectly acceptable and interchangeable.

One of the Kwizbot B1 tests marked "glaciaux" as wrong in a multiple choice question. It would only accept "glacials."

Bonjour Susan !
I've looked through all our questions, and they all accept glaciaux as a correct alternate answer.
Do you have the specific question in mind by any chance?
Merci et à bientôt !

I was just marked incorrect in a test for writing des temps glaciaux.

It is the spelling issue.
The incorrect answer is glacieux.
The correct one should be glaciaux.
