Python: .FORMAT method usage.

I have tried the string in several ways and I cannot get it to work. What is the answer to this and why?

strings.py 
name = "strong"
subject = ("Treehouse love {}".format("strong"))

Hi there! It was your second attempt in the middle that was correct, with one tiny exception. The string is supposed to be "Treehouse loves", but you wrote "Treehouse love". Remember, these challenges are very strict and your answer must match to the letter. This includes capitalization, spelling, punctuation, and even spacing.

Take a look:

name = "strong" 
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

You were literally off by one character. I'd say job well done! :sparkles:

or
