That's because it was so far from what it should be that we have to actually hint to it what it ought to be. So let's close that out and just type the correct word. Press change. Now for test message, it does actually have a suggestion for what it should be. So I'm going to click change. And Mary had a little lamb, needs to be lamb as well, so I'm going to do change.
