    I don't know how they do this, but Paris is full of Americans living there. I think they stay for a few months. Maybe they just don't tell their company and the company still think…

    I'm not a native English speaker, but don't you use the ";" in English ? To me, it feels like it is the same purpose as the EM dashes. And I discovered the EM with ChatGPT, I've ne…
