Exceptions of french pronunciation
I'm "fascinated" by all the exceptions of french pronunciations, e.g.
- verb ending "ent" of third person plural is silent
- femme is pronounced "f-a-m"
- faisons is "f-e-zon"
- monsieur is "m-e-sieur"
- patience is "p-si-ence"
...
Needless to say, these can easily trip self-learners of french if you don't pay attention, so could you list down some other such exceptions to be watched for, especially when learning outside of a classroom?
Thanks!

Why "pas de probleme" and not "pas problem"?
Such as you'd say "no problem" (as opposed to "no of problem")... is this the same reason as "combien de boef voulez vous" instead of "combien boef"?
Are there any other examples?

"à" devant infinitive
Pourquoi y at-il "à" en face de quelque infinitives?
Par exemple, "Il commence à travailler."
Pourquoi n'est-il pas "Il commence travailler", comme "Elle aime chanter"?

Was meint "auch nun wieder nicht"?
Ist es ein Redewendungen? Denn ich kann es kaum nicht verstanden, wenn ich es direkt uebersetze.

Dont vs De Qui/Duquel
Is "Rien ne montre mieux le caractère d'un homme que ce dont il rit." the same with "Rien ne montre mieux le caractère d'un homme que duquel il rit."?
I find the first sentence kinda redundant, but it's said that "dont" is more often used?
