Why aren't they working?

If that works I'll look like a twat.

They weren't working in S&B earlier.

Yes, you don't need to do every word.

And the apostrophe in aren't will be causing problems.

Is it because they've made it so they strike out whole sentences now? You don't need to do each word any more - it's when you try and do that that it messes up

complete sentence

each individual word

(bet that doesn't work now)
