Said Goldilocks, in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." I'll bet she also said, "Dieser Stuhl ist zu groß."

I mistakenly entered "to" instead of "too" and it marked me wrong. I guess Duolingo is checking my English too...
My keyboard is set for 3 languages and I swipe instead of type, so I have typos constantly. Sometimes it'll account for it, sometimes it won't.
I feel like I haven't had enough exposure to dies- and it's case forms but is 'dieser' just masculine nominative form?

The Cambridge German-English dictionary states that "Stuhl" can be translated as "stool". You marked me wrong for writing "stool"
I put "This chair is too little" and it was rejected. "Small" and "little" are synonymous in English - this should be accepted.
They've obviously never seen a Kindergarten chair which is both small, little and short. :-) (which is surprising when I actually look at the word)

"Too" is the correct spelling in English for "too small," "not too small," and even "too good to be true."
Well, I normally type "chair" for Stuhl; but I also know that Stuhl can mean "stool".... can so but Duo says no... they wanted chair. But, I still wasn't sure what kind of stool they're talking about in English, when Stuhl means stool, perhaps it's slang. :-) lol
