Python Python Collections (2016, retired 2019) Tuples Stringcases

I don't know which case is not returning correctly

I fail this challenge with error: Bummer! Didn't get back all of the right cases!

I get all uppercase with arg.upper(), all lowercase with arg.lower(), titlecase with arg.capitalize(), and reversed with ''.join.([arg(x) for x in range(0, len(x)).reversed()]).

I have also tried the reversed method with t = list(arg); t.reversed(); str(t) (or even ''.join(t). So I'm not understanding what is failing here. (and I am returning a tuple).

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(arg):
    return arg.upper(), arg.lower(), arg.capitalize(), ''.join([arg[x] for x in range(0, len(arg)).__reversed__()])

Hi Brandon, the reversing is fine, its the capitalize function that isn't giving you what you want. There's a small difference between capitalize and title functions, and there most likely strings with spaces in them, giving you the incorrect results using capitalize.
