I reported it again. They have fixed many things that I have reported, so here's hoping.

How do Italians know instinctively when to use the elided form l', as in "l'ottavo"? I got it right in this sentence (written), but whenever I say something masculine that begins with a vowel I always have to correct myself from "il" to "l'" grrrr
I really don't understand why i am wrong but am greatful for the programme its very helpful
We shouldn't be wrong because we can't put the accent on the e without using an apostrophe e'
They gave me a warning (Stop the clutter!) before I say a single word. I'm kind of upset right now.
3/29/14 For me, number two was the correct answer, and numbers 1 & 3 we're both wrong, and were different from each other. I have no point of reference, but it seems perhaps they have fixed the problem.
3/5/14 confirmed. The three entries are now identical except
.. sì è luglio
.. no è luglio
.. non è luglio
By the way, I would like to give credit to duo for the use of multiple choice where they show us the difficult part for free, and give us something we already know as a difference to choose from. What I mean, in this case we already know the words 'yes', 'no', and 'not', so this is an easy sentence, we don't lose our hearts, but we get to see all the new number stuff. Thanks duo!
Had a different exercise: translate English to Italian, but ended in this comment thread(?). My issue: why do I have to write every combination of words with an elision, rather than each word individually, like e.g. "del anno" ?
