Another Rookie Question

In reply to: Speaking of — can anyone give a rookie some advice on how  posted by 1NDGal


I think I understand the general concept, but:

- There is no app correct? Only through the site?

- Does spelling count?

- Does a human review answers? For this example question:

SCIENCE - What is the common current name of the disease which has been identified for centuries, having been called "too great emptying of the urine" during the early days of the pharoahs, "honey urine" during the equivalent era in India, and diarrhea urinosa in ancient Rome? The English translation of the disease's name in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese is "sugar urine disease".

The printed answer says "DIABETES MELLITUS" would 'DIABETES' count as correct?

Thanks

No app, just website. Their mobile version is fine, if a little bit annoying on the "defense" side.

Spelling isn't super strict, but it can matter.

I can't say that all answers are human-reviewed, but there is at least some human oversight. I've had answers judged correct previously that I don't think a machine or automated process would be able to do.
