3,449 PointsI just started learning to code a couple weeks ago, but as far as I can see coding is about being very, very meticulous with things. I completely understand how frustrating it can be, but in all honesty none of those examples you provided are technically correct. You got the capitalization and punctuation wrong on the first alert, and then Programming is misspelled in the 2nd alert, plus the punctuation. I know it sounds trivial, but one little error in code can mess your whole program up, and I think that is the point they are trying to relay here. Hope this is helpful.

13,879 PointsWoah, dude. Sometimes things can be frustrating, but there is no reason for that language. The way treehouse checks your code is for exact matches. So your issue here is the challenge told you to alert "I am Programming!" and you wrote, "I am Programing". I know in the grand scheme of teaching, that exclamation mark is unnecessary, but for checking your code, you have to write it exactly as the instructions ask.
Also, you only need one alert.
