Question: If you want to make the errors object spit out the full error messages as an array of strings, then what method do you want to call?
Answer: object.errors.add(:name, "is dumb")
Message: Bummer! Think back on the Ruby course and how you'd ask an object to give back an Array version of itself.
Pleas help

The add method you used (.add) would just return the entire argument as a single element. Since you want to add an array (remember an array is a collection of objects (strings, numbers, classes ect.) ) the method to do this is to_a() the a is short for Array.
