I believe I have entered the correct code, but the checker is telling me that it's incorrect. What do I do?

The checker is telling me there is an error in my CSS code, but I can't see it. It is supposed to clear every 4th gallery list item using the "nth child" property. Can somebody tell me where I went wrong?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
  }

  #gallery li:nth child(4n) {
    clear: left;
  }

}

Hey Spencer,

You are so close with that code! You just have a tiny misspelling in your nth child pseudo element. It should be "nth-child" (with a dash) instead of "nth child". 

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
  }
  /* changed to nth-child */
  #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
  }
}
