Mr Sidarius likes to make fun of the language example sentences used by Duolingo but I can tell you from experience that they are quite difficult to write. I worked in the Sentenceing Apprentice Program at Duolingo and it took me many years to learn how to write these sentences properly it has only gotten more difficult over the years. Here are some samples i have written recently with the Sentencing Review Instructor's comments in parentheses.

Does you grandmother have nests? (Ageists)

How many tents do you own? (Political)

Where are the raincoats now? (Now?)

My hands are cold can you bring the lawnmower? (Racist)

And so it goes. I just wish Mr Sidarius could deal these problems with the seriousness they deserve.
