CRUD.py Challenge suggestion

Kenneth Love, I am thoroughly enjoying your teaching style and Python courses. Generally, my personal challenges with your challenges has been my 'thickness'. But in this instance, I protest! :) The search query is worded as an "AND". While I get (in hindsight) that your hint about not using and or & is to negate your English instruction structure, I ask that you consider changing how this is written so that it reflects what you're seeking:

where the name field contains name argument OR the language field contains the language argument.

Anyone who has done SQL queries would read your English instructions and get an error like I did because you're specifically requesting both be true with the "and".

Just sayin' and hope you don't mind.

Yours truly, Amber

I woulnt use "yours truly" when speaking to a teacher. This is not appropriate.

Hi Cindy Lea - Actually, that is one of many common ways of closing a letter/correspondence and there is nothing inappropriate about it.
