Hang on a minute! Let's say I am at the ballet for the evening. One dancer particularly catches my eye with his grace and movement. I lean over and whisper in my wife's ear..."He is a butterfly!" She nods and understands. But DL doesn't appreciate ballet, hence I was marked "wrong" for translating "È una farfalla" as "He is a butterfly". Seems harsh :-)
I wrote the capital letter 'E' plus an accent next to it like -- E' -- to simulate the capital letter e with grave accent on it. Duolingo has signaled it as a warning. Although Italian keyboards do have vocal with accents for Italian characters as keys, they don't have the capital counterpart. Maybe Duolingo can accept the capital letter e with apostrophe after it as transliteration for capital letter E with grave accent on it....
