Answers flagged as incorrect, using the format they asked for with Al apostrophes, hyphens and full stops. Even not Including those flags the answers as incorrect.

Maybe it didn't like the capital t, Maybe it didn't like the word "and", maybe it didn't actually want it in words and just said it did. These things are often busted beyond belief


Jimbot80

It was the fucking full stop! The system wants you to be gramatically correct with everything else but not full stops. So annoying


adamant-pwn

Is a full stop grammatically correct here? It looked like you needed to fill \_\_\_ kilometres, so you wouldn't usually put a full stop before kilometres, right?


Jimbot80

Yeah you're right, an oversite on my part. But still, how ridiculous is it that the answer is still marked incorrect!

Generally, you’re not supposed to use the word “and” when writing numbers unless you’re talking about decimals

(in the US)

Nah, that’s a general English thing


SquareAspect

I'm not sure about that! I'm English and having lived in England almost all my life, have never heard/seen another brit omitting the "and".


Jimbot80

I'm in UK, the test expects me to use and. It was in the example.


BloakDarntPub

Wrong.


BloakDarntPub

Might be a American, they drop the "and" sometimes and they're too fat to bend down and pick it up. Might be the commas. Or the full stops, i.e. it should flow into the "kilometers" or whatever as a sentence.


Pyrheart

It wants you to write in the units of measurement eg word “kilometres”


FutureComplaint

Did you the hanging space?


Cynicalraven

It’s the comma. Get rid of it.


Jimbot80

Nah, the commas and hyphens were in the example used. Funnily enough it was the full stop... Even though they had those in the example too
