Hi McCain,

I have checked the Kwiz questions and cannot find the word ‘bateaux’ spelt with two -t’s.

So best use the Report it button on your correction board to check if there’s a glitch somewhere.

It is better to report this through the quiz report button - if present, this would indicate a typo/spelling error in the quiz response expected. Bateaux is definitely correct, “batteaux” is not.
