Thank you! Corrected :slight_smile:

In the first lesson about placeholders I discovered that I was able to use template literals instead. It saves us a lot of code and is way easier to read in my opinion. However, in future lessons I haven’t always been successful in using TL. I’m not sure if I get the syntax wrong, if it’s not possible to use in place of placeholders or if CC has implemented restrictions looking just for placeholders. Cnn anyone answer this?

I would also like to know why template literals are not accepted by CC… is it because they aren’t safe/don’t work, or is CC just trying to get us to learn the interpolation? Either way, it should be addressed.
