La copropriété (la propriété partagée d’un avion donnant le droit de l’utiliser un nombre déterminé d’heures chaque année) est aussi en hausse. Les grandes lignes aériennes regardent de près la tendance au nolisement d’avions privés. En 2001, United Airlines a créé une filiale appelée Avolar pour offrir des avions loués en copropriété ainsi que des services de nolisement et de navette à des entreprises clientes. 5, record 1, French, - copropri%C3%A9t%C3%A9

Selon M. Yvon Sanfaçon, chef du Bureau des services à la clientèle du Québec au ministère des Ressources naturelles du Canada, le terme anglais «fractional range» est utilisé dans les cantons(«townships») de l'Ouest canadien pour décrire un rang qui n’ a été subdivisé que partiellement et, par conséquent, le terme français «rang fractionnaire» peut constituer un équivalent acceptable. 1, record 2, French, - rang%20fractionnaire

During the Revolutionary War, General Washington's troops stuffed the deflated paper money of the day into their stockings to help protect their shins from the chilly temperatures of the winter. From this practice arose the slang expression "shinplaster" to characterize any low-value paper currency. The low-denomination merchant's notes circulating in large quantities in British North America (particularly Lower Canada) during late 1830s were dubbed "shinplasters", as were the 25-cent paper notes issued in 1870 and later. 1, record 3, English, - fractional

L’utilisation de «shinplaster» (emplâtre à tibia) vient de ce qu’à un moment de la Guerre de l’Indépendance américaine, les soldats de Washington emplirent leurs bas de billets alors dévalués pour se protéger les jambes contre le froid hivernal. Cette pratique entraîna le recours à «shinplaster» pour désigner toute monnaie de papier de petite valeur. Le terme fut repris au Canada, d’abord à la fin des années 1830, alors que de grandes quantités de billets de marchand de faible valeur circulaient en Amérique du Nord britannique, et surtout au Bas-Canada, puis à partir de 1870, avec l’émission de billets de 25 cents. 1, record 3, French, - billet%20de%2025%20cents
