Hey Elazar,

The word is actually "literal" with an "L" at the end. What the error means in this case is that there is a problem with a string literal.

Have a look at the very last entry. The String Literal opens with a double quotation mark (") but closes with a single ('). Just change the closing one to a double (or the opening one to a single) and you're all good to go.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
