Duolingo, you're a Creep

I'm now on a 100 day streak on Duolingo, though Duolingo itself would say I'm on a 10 day streak because twice I've done my requisite exercise after midnight, when it refuses to count it. So it lost my 75 day streak once, and then an 89 day streak (which it counted as 14 days) but since I still did the exercise during those days I'm counting it. 

So anyway, yay me. 

To celebrate the occasion, here are some of the weird phrases Duolingo has given me to translate. Duolingo, you're a creep. 

Elle est parfaite - She is perfect. Except my name is Elle, so the whole time it was like Duolingo complimenting me. 

Here's where it got super creepy and euphemistic.
