Cultural Tip
In French advertising, the imperative is often rendered in the formal/plural form ‘Utilisez…’ to address a broad audience politely. ‘Utilise…’ is perfectly fine for informal, friendly tones or when speaking directly to a single person. Also, ‘appli’ is widely accepted in digital contexts, but in more formal writing you might prefer ‘application’.
