      Rectangular spoons are clearly superior.

                        So で also functions as with? Ah I'm confused

                          で can be used to mean "by means of"

                          スプーンでたべます "I eat by means of a spoon"

                            Does that mean "I eat using a round spoon," is acceptable?

                              Is there something wrong with "I eat using a round spoon," or does Duo need to be educated again?

                                It's technically okay, but it sounds really unnatural

                                    In this case, the kanji for まるい is 丸い or 円い?

                                      I think it's both. Sometimes the same word can be written with different kanji.

                                            「まるいスプーン」なんか聞いたことない。スプーンの基本はそのものの丸さじゃなかった？？Duolingo, you're weird.

                                            When "I will eat" and "I eat" aren't the same thing...

                                            If you mean "I will eat[...]" wasn't accepted, report it. This is the non-past tense, so it can be used for both present and future tense.
