Typo in the instruction

See original GitHub issue

constructing-strings-with-variables

Issue Description

There is a spelling mistake in the instruction given.

  • Here is the extract of the Instruction:

Set myName to a string equal to your name and build myStr with myName between the strings “My name is " and " and I am swell!”

  • Expected last word in the instruction: well
  • Actual last word in the instruction: swell

Here well is expected instead of swell because, the context is set in the starting of the code as:

var ourName = "Free Code Camp";
var ourStr = "Hello, our name is " + ourName + ", how are you?";

// Only change code below this line
var myName;
var myStr;

I’ll take it. ‘Swell’ is fine (I am kind of an American English Usage buff, and this is an important field in pedagogy!), but I’d like to claim this just so I can get the practice with contributing.

If not for the sake of promoting easy contributions, then just so that non-natives won’t be confused (which increases friction and makes their learning more difficult).
