  Hello Do you guys know why my code does not work?

  put = ''
  lis = []
  while put != 'quit!':
      put = input()
  
      if len(put) >= 4 and put[-2:] == 'or':
          put = put[:-2] + 'our'
          lis.append(put)
      elif len(put) > 0 and put != 'quit!': 
          lis.append(put)
  [print(item) for item in lis]
  

  [print(item) for item in lis] is the end of code

  you have to ensure the letter before 'or' is a consonant

  For anyone struggling there's something that (I believe) is not clearly stated which is that for the rule to apply (change "or" to "our") the "or" must be at the END of the sentence

  I feel like my solution is correct (output looks right) but the judge doesn't like my answer, even when it solves the suggested output...

  Someone care to chime in and help me out? Thanks!

  word = input()
  vowels = list('aeiouy')
  
  
  while word != 'quit!':
    if len(word) > 4:
      for i in range(1, len(word)):
        if (word[i] == 'r') and (word[i-1] == 'o') and (word[i-2] not in vowels):
          word = word[:i]+'u'+ word[i:]
    print(word)
    word = input()

  I thought y wasn't a vowel... edit: nevermind I just read that it said to treat y as a vowel

  def is_vowel(char):
      return char in "aeiouy"
  def to_canadian(word):
      if len(word) > 4 and word[-2:] == "or" and not is_vowel(word[-3]):
          return word[:-2] + "our"
      return word

  Make sure that "or" must appear at the middle of the word (i.e suffix). Currently your program replaces "or" with "our" even if "or" appears somewhere else like in the middle, but it must appear at the end

  don't do that! I was very confused.

  instructor -> instructour (I'm not English native and based on my knowledge it doesn't exist 'instructour' word) but my answer is still accepted. If anyone can explain it that would be great. Thanks

  Instructour is not actually a word.

  "The rules for detecting American spelling are quite naïve:"

  The program does not actually detect if words are real words. After all, you could potentially have a word 64 letters long. It is just detecting a sequence, and making the changes. So in this instance, correct answers are not necessarily real words. I hope that make sense for you.

  Now if you see this, try and answer my question below please :D

  Be careful, vowel+or still no need to change, like floor...

  For those that know American vs Canadian spellings, neighbor should become neighbour, but instructor should not become instructour. But according to the given rules, it should. Given the spelling/structure of those words, I'm not sure how to tell the program how to tell the difference.

  I think you're too tripped over how American spelling really is. Pretend that this is the new way of American spelling; since it's a 3 pointer, they're not looking for anything complicated.

  Can I assume the input is all lowercase letters?

  it wont happen, according to the ccc test cases, but i believe the problem statement is clear enough
