Tuple result var not returning proper values

Challenge Task 2 of 3 in Parameters and Tuples doesn't seem to make sense. I'm declaring a new var for result and assigning it to the result of the greeting func which is a tuple, but it's saying it doesn't have the correct value...is this task broken or does something need to be changed?

tuples.swift 
func greeting(person: String) -> (language: String, greeting: String) {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"
    let tuple = (language, greeting)
    return tuple
}

var result = greeting("Tom")

Hi Stuart Santos !

You might want to change the order of "language" and "greeting" in your tuple like this and it'll work:

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

    return (greeting, language)
}

var result = greeting("Tom")
