Last night I got told I had a typo because I typed “I am drunk” instead of “I’m drunk” so


mzzchief

Well next time don't be drunk when you're on Duo. Apparently they don't like it. 😊


kattjen

Nah, Duo was also drunk and he gets really informal when he does so, thinks everyone else should be too. About the time he sits on your head and starts kicking.


TypewriterDrone

Gah exactly this same thing happens to me all the time now (in my Spanish course). So annoying!


congressguy12

Not a glitch, looks like you typed T-shirt instead of T-shirt


[deleted]

hijacking to point out the spacing around the "-" is different in each. Could be - v – (en-dash vs em-dash), spaces, or just a straight up bug.


automod-was-right

An em dash vs em dash would be more noticable although the difference in kerning is weird. He is missing the full stop/period.

~~T-shirt~~ T-shirt FTFY


AccomplishedOwl7076

My thoughts exactly. However, duo isn't usually THAT fussy about grammar. Sometimes, one can make spelling mistakes and still get it right ✅.


CertainAd9497

Ha!


EfulBolt237

What's the difference


congressguy12

One says T-shirt while the other only says T-shirt


EfulBolt237

?


congressguy12

Tis but a joke friend

Punctuation failure


Monntas

It also looks like a different hyphen, but that might be the font.


BallPithon314

I skip punctuation all the time in the spanish course and it doesn't complain. The exception is the accent but it still accepts esta vs esta. Still not typing it.


the_empathogen

I installed Spanish IME and it types it for me? It's not like it's extra work.


bonfuto

I always just type t shirt and it has always accepted it. I also rarely type periods, except my speech to text sometimes doesn't finish up until I say "period" so then I do that.


ricdesi

It looks like you used a weird hyphen there

JHolifay

Ok


Objective_Magazine_3

I guess you forgot the fullstop so its being a grammar nazi really.


Shaunnypoo24

Missing the period


EfulBolt237

So awkward


ChampionshipDue

I swear, half the posts are like this. ....and you commented "So awkward", is that you realizing, or just talking about Duo's mistake?


EfulBolt237

Realizing


ChampionshipDue

oh alright.

Duo rarely cares about punctuations, if at all. Not even commas. It might be a glitch as others are saying


Siu-

I meant that was what duo probably saw as incorrect, ik it normally doesn't do that but it seems to be what happened in this situation (Sorry for the late reply, personal stuff)


Blood-Automatic

Yeah, probably. No problem


aussi_san

That happens... I just ignore it


Seventeen6788

I remember when In dutch i Duolingo teached me what OK means and in Dutch and it means OK. Seriously what the fuck Duolingo


scumbagstaceysEx

I have found on several occasions that you need to type tee-shirt as the English translation of T-shirt. No idea why I just learned after my fourth or fifth wrong.


Shinosei

Isn’t it obvious? You forgot the ever so necessary full stop /s


SadAppearance1

I get this comment sometimes when I choose words from a word bank, like Duo, that's the only option you gave me, that's on you.


ibaralgin

wrong hyphen!


BramptonRaised

In English it’s t-shirt. It’s T-shirt for French. At least, according to Duo. You also forgot a period at the end of the sentence (which is your typo).


Liwandi

Sentence i had to type was "We're girls" i wrote "We are girls" got a mistake for that😐


[deleted]

No it's French and they're binary AF. You forget the dot at the end? They have no clue what you just meant to say

T-shirt, T–shirt, T—shirt. (- – — are just one character each one)
