Hi Damien, What I was trying to convey was that I think for new users the language needs to be focused on function vs. structure, if that makes sense. The function here is that I want to give a message to students who have not yet attempted this problem, or to students who have attempted but not completed, etc. I (as a new user) am not interested in "inserting blocks" -- I want to convey a message to this or that group of students. So my point was that changes along these lines focusing instructions/options on what I can do with this to better help my students learn should be a positive direction.
