        Hi, Corey.

You dropped a closing parenthesis in the line above.  Having the syntax 
error occur one line up from where it is indicated is not uncommon.

Another thing as long as we are here, in the code below.

code...

correct, right?"

The else will only apply if they type in Fine 
If you want it too apply to all three you would need to join the checks 
together into one if statement with Boolean operators.
