Double Space Character counts as Error ("Fill in the Blank")

Hi, 

In the module "Fill in the blank" I encountered the problem, when a user accidently type twoe space characters between words, it will count as an error.

For example:

The solution is:

"My home is my castle"

The User type:

"My  home is my castle"

...will throw that the text is not right

Is it possible to add a line in the configuration (behavior settings) - like "ignore more than one space character between words" ? Because many people accidently type two space chars instead of one. 

Thanks!

Hi germancenter-st,

The setting "Accept minor spelling errors" when enabled will let you have minor errors including a double space.

Thanks BV52 - Great! Do you know, what else mistakes are counting as a "minor spelling error", because the excersises are for a language school and something like missing Commas or full stop points, should be still marked as an error.

Hi!

Currently, the rule is to simply accept 1 mistake for words or phrases of 1-9 characters and up to 2 mistakes for words or phrases with more than 9 characters. We should probably include that in the option's description.

Best,
