So apparently for the latter you can just claim to be using the american pronunciation https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/penchant

Can the term potency also be used to refer to the exponent in English? Because that is what is meant by the terms in the other languages and I haven’t come across that usage of the word potency in English

I’m pretty sure the whole thing is that witches in the witcher universe can shape their faces however they want so they all choose to be super pretty? Am I misremembering or did yennefer make herself “not conventionally beautiful” on purpose?

I live in Europe and have one friend who does that. No idea where it stems from, maybe the parents felt they could keep more of a personal identity if they were referred to by their name at home or something

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure I learned at school that you can use “that” for everything, “who” for people and “which” for things
