connaître vs connaitreI was just judged incorrect for suggesting "connait" as the 3rd person present indicative version of the verb (should have been connaît). Now, I often go to fr.wiktionary.org to look up words' meaning and conjugations. It lists two verbs, connaitre and connaître with very similar meaning. Are these two distinct verbs or just two alternative spellings of the same verb?

Position of adjectivesYou have given us the general rule and exceptions. This is good. But scrolling down further I find a mind boggling array of existent exceptions. Can I choose to ignore and not worry about those for the short and mid term progress with the language?

Why do you contract je ai to j'ai but leave tu as and not t'as ?It seems like tu never contracts with the following verb. Are there other words that end in vowels but never contract with the next word ?
