Ah OK I finally get it now - my program did not actually use the values indicated and I thought this would make no difference but there is a nice explanation lower down this conversation as to why it DOES make a difference. My apologies, I should have realised that if the tests WERE wrong, they would have been fixed sooner or more likely - the kata would not have been "allowed". :-)

Is there any reason why the incorrect test case in javascript has not been fixed? Or is there anyway to pass, despite failing this incorrect test case?

This doesn't work when there is punctuation. Several other solutions look like they have the same problem. How can these have passed the tests and are being presented as alternative solutions?
