Using "Treehouse" works correctly. Are you copying and pasting from a text editor? maybe it is a character encoding issue. Cheers.

I’m on a mac, so autocorrect corrects it to „Treehouse“. So I have to write a“Treehouse“ and then have to remove the first letter. “Treehouse"

It worked with pasting from an editor. Thank you very much
