Note also that the string starts with a capital 'T' for Treehouse rather than the lowercase you used. The workspace check cares about case inside of strings so take care to match what the instructions require.
name = "trey"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

22,160 PointsYou could syntatically. But you should take care to do it the way they say in the challenge. They specifically ask for you to use .format, so they may be looking for you using that format.
