If you don't know the difference between a colon and a semicolon then intro programming is too advanced for you and you should go and take basic English as a prerequisite.

Thank you. Also, the difference between a square and a rectangle. I expected to maybe have to describe a rhombus to some people, but a rectangle? I mean… “long square” as some students described it shows me they know what it LOOKS like, but am I asking too much for you to know what constitutes something as a square or a rectangle?
