Grammaire
1. I've been struggling with the pairs an/année and jour/journée
for so long. Hopefully this explanation will help others.
2. Duration vs measure-of-time
   toute la journée
   all day
   
   tous les jours
   every day
   We can see now that journée specifies a duration, while jour denotes a measure of time (day/month/year/decade/century). An exception to this rule is when cardinal numbers are involved. Thus, in the cartoon above, Anwar Ibrahim says 6 ans seulement, not 6 années seulement.
3. Demonstrative adjectives
   ce jour
   this day
   
   cette année
   this year
   Here, "this year" is the odd one out because it uses the feminine version. The reason is clear: it sounds nicer to say say-ta-nay rather than se-ahn.
4. Adjectives
   Programme de la deuxième journée. #
   2nd day program
   
   Ils ont passé 7 merveilleuses journées à Paris. #
   They spent 7 marvelous days in Paris.
   If ordinal numbers or adjectives are used to qualify the day/year, use the feminine version.
