  -> Thanks!

agree  Maga1i (X): S'il faut écrire "on sera...", c'est juste parce que les Français n'utilisent presque jamais le "nous" dans le langage parlé!

  -> Merci Magali. Je pensais éventuellement à une personne qui s'adresserait à un groupe avec mon "nous", mais il est certain que "on" est plus correct.
