  -> Comme il peut lui même ne pas choisir ma réponse s'il n'en est pas satisfait. Et selon vous, c'est quoi une recherche si ce n'est pas de chercher dans des sources fiables.
neutral  Germaine: "reprocher" demande un complément; j'enlèverais le "vous": "Ne culpabilise[z] pas". Le reste est ok, mais dit moins que "beat yourself up", à mon avis. // Merci pour votre professionnalisme.
