This seems hugely unfair of Duolingo
Just mark it as incorrect, there’s an option for that
Misspelling detection in the Spanish course for English speakers is highly hit and miss.
It feels fair to me. Both Ana and Anna have different pronunciations. I can get the question marks, though they don’t seem to be marked as errors, just remarks.
Yeah, punctuation does not fail you. If it did i would never pass. Lol
In the 18th century spelling reform, Anna was shortened to Aña which of course is pronounced differently from Ana. /s
I mean if that was right you still failed to make the statement into a question
Duolingo doesn’t check for punctuation does it?
It checks and let’s you know but does not fail you for it.
If it makes you feel any better, if you translate the Finnish pronoun of hän, to they. Duolingo will fail you because the correct answer is to use ETHER he or she. Which one though doesn’t matter and you are free to change it the next time the question comes around.
Oh no, now you won’t pass this semester!
Also - now you’ll learn spanish versions of American names!?
Argh!!!
What is the purpose of this comment
I was cranky this morning and took it out on someone whining on the Internet
I don’t get it. Did you misspell the name and didn’t mark the question?
This is an audio prompt which you must listen to and then type. OP correctly typed the sentence but didn’t know how the speaker prefers to spell their name and so it was marked incorrect.
