La honte!

la honte = shame. And it is what I feel when shown I made a terrible typo in yesterday's word.
une activité = an activity. Although feminine, there is no need for an extra silent 'e' in the end. My deepest and sincerest apologies. I will be reading a dictionary all day to make up for this.

And one more word for the road
une fois = a time ('s' is silent). Des fois = sometimes, but although the term is acceptable every parent will tell their children that the preferred way is to say "parfois" and correct them when they say things like:

Parfois mes mots deviennent
Ce que je suis et ce que j'aime
J'en oublie même des fois
Ce qui est vrai, ce qui ne l'est pas

(Sometimes my words become
Who I am and what I love
Sometimes I even forget
What is true and what's not)
