AS example question error

I answered the question on AS for CONCAT function and 'AS' was incorrect but 'as' was correct. Shouldn't both be accepted if SQL is case insensitive?

Are you referring to the 'custom columns' module in the SQL course? You are correct, SQL is case insensitive so it shouldn't matter what case you use in your answer. However in Sololearn, all answers are lower case (this is true in challenges and in the courses). If you try to answer in upper case, your answer automatically converts to lower .

So it let you answer in upper case? When I try to answer that same question​ it only allows lower case...even if I put caps lock on I can still only answer 'as'

Does it let you answer other questions in uppercase, or is it just that one? If it's just that one then I wouldn't worry about it and move on. But if it's a general problem I would send feedback to Sololearn, as it will get annoying if it keeps happening (especially if you start doing challenges and losing as a result)

It did not like me entering CONCAT instead of concat for the first answer of the Custom Columns section either, will monitor to see if it occurs anywhere else. Main concern is if people are misled when entering correct info. Doesn't bother me personally but will feedback if it keeps occurring. Thanks

That's what I am referring to. In this case the answer showed as incorrect.
