Also not taking mine no matter how it is punctuated. The completion of the phrase also isn't the answer, apparently, even that is what we are all doing.
Mine went through.... I think there must be a bug for most people though cause it's not a strange variant and it doesn't include the completion of the phrase.
Could someone send it to me, because I have cut and pasted it from word over and over and it still isn't working. I'm on a Mac but if that makes a difference then I'm throwing someone out a window.

Are you all using the apostrophe?

I've tried with and without the apostrophe and with and without the contraction.

not the "regular" apostrophe--smart apostrophe. grrr.

The OTHER thing I tried is I capitalized the first letter of the word in the phrase?

[32] - that might be it. I went into Word thinking maybe I had typed the last word wrong. Then I copied and pasted from Word.??????

I put 'give up' at the end, and there was this long pause before it finally said 'Sorry', that was weird.

[39] dont know why, but that worked. why do people insist on doing crazy stuff with punctuation?

Go into Word, type in an apostrophe, and it should change into one that slants. Copy and paste it.
EDIT: See if this one works: â

you can use Wordpad too instead of Word.

Sorry about that, folks. I've edited it so the apostrophe is no longer "smart." Please try again?

To be fair, this would be a very hard thing to catch. I suppose that this means that code will have to be written to prevent this sort of problem.
Plus, we all got to experience the truthfulness of the answer first hand.
