if "tacos" not in taco_joint: taco_joints.remove(taco_joint)

Good day! This actually refers to the previous step (question and answer portion) of this video. I tried the 2nd question in the launcher expecting that all items/elements which has a "taco" (whatever case - upper or lower or combination of both) would not be removed. Apparently, if the word "Taco" is present, as oppose to "taco", it would still be removed. How can I modify the script so that the word "taco" - whatever case it would be (upper, lower or combination of both) would not be removed?

Thanks

Hola Leo,

In the example code above you are missing the lower() method after taco_joint. I too tried the previous code out of curiosity and found myself doing that little mistake. 

if 'taco' not in taco.joint.lower(): 
    taco_joints.remove(taco_joint)

Hope that helps. If not let me know. Saludos, Erik
