One of the questions is: "LTE" in the phrase "if lte IE 8", which is used in the HTML to declare a fallback, is an acronym for
Apparently, it's not "less than or equal", "Less Than or Equal", "less than equal" or "Less Than Equal".
I doubt it's "Long Term Evolution". So… not sure what to answer.

6,555 Pointsugh... I had the same problem.
Also with "Scalable Vector Graphics" (versus scalable vector graphic).
I'm voting boo-erns on that question.
1) In english (in this context), "less-than" and "equal-to" are used as nouns and should be hyphenated. Though the quiz won't accept the hyphens.
2) after several permutations of the (basically correct) answer, I copied and pasted from the w3c. They say it means "less than or equal" -- also incorrect.
I vote changing it to a multiple choice, or loosening the restrictions on a false answer. -- that wasted some time.

2,207 PointsJames Barnett Unless I'm getting paid, there is no way I'm going to file QA bugs with an email to the Treehouse support team, that is what their QA department is for.
I think it's also worth noting that it asks what SVG stands for and it does not accept the correct answer "scalable vector graphic", the only answer it accepts is "scalable vector graphic[s]" which yet again is wasting everyone's time. I wouldn't be surprised if Treehouse didn't have a QA department. I've never found so many glaring issues with a product that cost me several hundred dollars.

5,942 PointsSimply agree with a majority of you. Definitely a question with an obvious answer that wasted time. Treehouse Team, adding "scalable vector graphicS" would be a good idea. I think it was typing it in caps that finally let it pass?
