Step 2) Fill in the _____ exercise questions are traditionally/usually made apparent with adequate underscores. See what I did there? | |

| Sep 3, 2019 at 20:02 | comment | added | Nathan Rabe | I question the premise: it seems to me that in both cases the users understood there was a blank that needed to be filled in. If the latter question had asked them to translate "twenty" there likely wouldn't have been any confusion. You may be dealing with the perception that 22 is single unit for translating; partly because it isn't part of a longer sentence, and partly because you wouldn't ask them to translate only the "law" part of "lawyer". | |
