Which one should you use?

Did you know?
- While bio is short for 'biography' in this phrase, it is also the most common French abbreviation for biologique. This means a French person seeing bio in a grocery store will think of organic food rather than a profile description.
- The word lien shares a common ancestor with the English word 'ligament'. Both come from the Latin 'ligāmen', which refers to something that binds or ties things together.
