Guessing something is wrong here?

Hi there!

In the transcript it says I should put double quotes and then another quote. I'm guessing that's a mistake, or am I just being dumb? :P

(I have no clue where else to put my 'Oh-I-Think-I-Found-An-Error'-reports, so I'm guessing this is the right place? If not, sorry!)

Cheers! Marciplan

Hi Marciplan

All you need to type in is:

= "Status Update"

It mentions double quotes in the first entry only to distinguish:

doublequotes: "
from singlequote: '

Hey Adan,

Thanks for the reply! I managed to work it out, I just found the text confusing. As if it was trying to make me do the following: "Statusupdate'"

But it must be just me that's confused then :D
