Good choice, Mark - I think 'everyday' conveys the meaning much better. Merci aussi France!

Thanks, France.

Here "domestique" has the meaning of concerning the private life.
= +/- ... le fruit de ce genre d'accidents de la vie quotidienne/privée.

Yes, good idea, because I am not sure if the word 'domestique' - if translated as 'domestic' in English - has some specific significance.

 by Merlin57 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Perhaps the French can weigh in on this?

 by markvanroode 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Mark, what do you think of: the result of this kind of simple accident. ?
