No Fixed Tests

Enabled Node 12

Reraised above as an issue

• Node 12 should be enabled (Refer this and this for more info)

• The description should mention how to handle punctuation clearly

I could eventually solve the kata easily, assuming I should not care about punctuation. Nevertheless I think this point should be explained in the description.

It's not clear how we should handle the punctuation. In basic test cases we can only see one '?', but it is preceeded by a space, which is unusual in English.

Letter y keep messing me up in these letter challenges :/

^^

Yes,you are right.
I'm going to add that in description.
Thank you!

Yes, apostrophe is a part of word.
"o'clock" = "o'cl."

It would be nice if you could clarify in the kata description that:

• apostrophes are part of words
• commas following shortened words should be removed

So is an apostrophe a part of a word? For instance, how should "o'clock" be shortened?

No, you are not required to trim the result. If string created by random test includes some white spaces just leave it like that.
You are asked just to shorten words which are longer then 3 characters.

In sample tests

  Test.assertEquals(shortenSpeech("Hello, do you want a coffee ? "), "Hell. do you want a coff. ?");

But there are not other cases where input having trailing spaces.
Do we have to trim the result?
