I'm no linguist, but is it truly something ambiguous or are you being a stickler? I've seen some of the comments on some of those exercises, and there are plenty of indignant sticklers mucking about.
It's the same on CodeCademy with some of their exercises. "Well shouldn't it really be like this?!" No. The accepted answer works fine. Don't over-engineer a simple solution.
- 88e282102ae2e5b 10y agoI can't remember the specific example, but it was a scenario where the source language was ambiguous but the target required more specificity. It was like "give me some bread" in one language and then when I supplied "give me a piece of bread" it told me it should have been "give me a slice of bread". While I could see where it was coming from, this would be incredibly confusing for a beginner, who wouldn't even know to report this as a problem - they might conclude that "piece of bread" was just incorrect.
