Sometimes, these are extra picky, counting something wrong when the meaning is the same. For instance, I just had the sentence “I think the Astronomy class is boring.” I left out the word ‘the’ and it was counted wrong. I can understand if I left out a word that was actually signed but I hadn’t. I feel there should be a bit of leniency in these situations.

I mainly study at school with a teacher and 'the' is never actually used😅 or at least with deaf accents it's often skipped over

that's my point. it shouldn't be counted wrong if we don't use 'the' in the translation if the meaning is the same.
