En revanche pour le -i- Ne vous posez pas la question, ça n'existe pas, il faut impérativement mettre -I-

hello bubblingirl !
I'm not very good at English but I can tell you what I know :
Least is the superlative word of little that can be used with mass nouns and is usually preceded by `the'; a quantifier meaning smallest in amount or extent or degree; "didn't care the least bit"; "he has the least talent of anyone"
and "last" is the final - the conclusive in a process or progression; "the final answer"; "a last resort"; "the net result"
Sometimes, people say : and the last not the least which means in French le dernier mais pas le moindre!
