And the last part is a little strange. To join a list back together, start with the 'delimiter', i.e. the string that you want to separate the items in the list once you've joined it together. A space is common, for obvious reasons! Then call the join method on that string, passing the list as a parameter:

greeting = " ".join(greeting_list)
