Why do I have to go out from the room, to look out of the window? Some sentences are really strange.
Now it's insane. The computer won't even accept "you go out of the room and you look out of the window." It would seem that "you look out the window is compulsory even though it's highly American (or, apparently, New Zealand). If Star Trek was made by the BBC, Spock might say to Kirk, "It's English Jim, but not as we know it!"
Not only that, but "out the window" (in British English) is actually considered a sign of an uneducated speaker. Duolingo hasn't quite understood that what is acceptable usage in American English might be understood in British English (no-one would misunderstand "out the window"), it would mark the speaker down as being badly educated, or at best an associate of badly-educated people.
