JS Basics not recognizing correct code on code review quiz

I am having problems with the system letting me answer a question in a quiz. I am almost 100% sure that what I have entered is correct because the page is actually running it as it is supposed to, but the code check is not recognizing that it is correct.

Where I was at: JS basics - making decisions with conditional statements - add an else if clause

Code that was entered:

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if ( isStudent ) {
  alert('Welcome Student');
}

Can someone please help me with this?

I know this is going to sound insane but, the code is fine however you have to have a small 's' on 'student' the quizzes are very particular

var isAdmin = false;
var isStudent = true;

if ( isAdmin ) {
    alert('Welcome administrator')
} else if (isStudent) {
  alert('Welcome student');
}
