On Task 2 of 3 in banana.py

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" sundaes = available.split(';') menu = "Our available flavours are: {}.".format("; ".join(sundaes)) This says "Bummer! Your 'menu' string isn't correct!" Please help me, no matter what I do it still says the same thing!

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavours are: {}."

The challenges are very picky about spelling.

The challenge is expecting the American spelling of "flavors", but you wrote "flavours".

Thank you so much. We've been tearing our hair out. We've tried it and all is well!
