This won't work although it should. Something wrong with the compiler?

See code.

 func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (language, greeting) 
}

var result = greeting("Tom")

It's not the compiler it's the requirements of the challenge, and they seem to care about order - you're (returning language, greeting) in your return statement instead of (greeting, language).
