BUG: "Practice makes permanent" written instead of "Practice makes perfect"

Im not really sure if this is a bug or not, but this has happened more than once. When sololearn asks me a question on the course in a lesson, if i get the question correct, i sometimes get the message "Practice makes permanent" in green letters followed by a green tick. I feel like it is supposed to be "perfect" instead of "permanent". Is this supposed to be happening? EDIT: Sorry about the lack of details. It was found in the new course, 'Introduction to Python'. This 'bug' applies to all of the lessons, and I can confirm it with testing.

I believe the message is to take from the usual "practise makes perfect" and admit that nobody is perfect but it does make learning stick, so practise does make permanent.

Yes, it sounds cute. Still, as a non-native speaker, I find it hard to tell if it's a bug or a pun. 😁

Rather than a bug or typo, I think this was meant to be a pun (a joke with words). And the point is, you will remember the lesson better, if you apply the knowledge in actual code. So it will stick in your memory 'permanently'.

I had already done 2 of the python courses, but decided to do the introduction to python course, because it told me that 'Python Core' is getting deleted, so i tried it out, and found this bug. I dont think it is specific to any lesson, because i saw it in multiple lessons, such as 'Working with numerical data' and 'working with text data', both of them being in the "getting started with python" section.

Tysm for clearing it out. Idk if it was intended or not, but @ausgrindtube if your theory is true then it makes sense!

The only reason i thought it was a bug, because at the end of the lesson, it would display the message 'Practice makes perfect', making me think that the 'permanent' might have been a typo.
