Bonjour,
j'entends dire: I'm at my friend's.
j'ai compris qu'autrefois on disait I'm at my friends home,
mais le mot home ne se dit plus.
est-ce en effet correct ?
comme on dit: I'm at my grandparents', I'm at the butcher's.

Bonne semaine.

yes indeed that's funny, car: to go to the John = aller au toilette.
Bonne semaine !

En français, on va _aux_ toilettes (féminin pluriel).

Bon jour de l'an. Ne faites pas trop d'excès
et prenez soin de vous. On ne sait jamais ce qui peut arriver !
