Add another property named units to the data object. Set its value to either "metric" or "imperial"

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

weather.js 
$(document).ready(function() {
  var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
  var data = {
    q: "Portland,OR",
    units: "metric,imperial"
  }
});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">

  <script src="jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="weather.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
    <h1>Current temperature: <span id="temperature"></span>&deg;</h1>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Keyword is "or".

$(document).ready(function() {
  var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
  var data = {
    q : "Portland,OR",
    units : "metric"
  };
});

I was able to pass this challenge by using this bit of code here:

$(document).ready(function() {
  var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
  var data = {
    q: "Portland, OR",
    units: "metric"
  };
});

As someone previously mentioned, the keyword in this scenario is "or", so simply choose metric or imperial as the unit to be displayed, but not both.
