PEBKAC or PEBCAK? :)

c:\Users\Mark\MyPython>type b.py
def shut_down(s):
     s = s.lower()
     if s == "yes":
         return "Shutting down..."
     elif s == "no" :
         return "Shutdown aborted!"
     else:
         return "Sorry, I didn't understand you"

for s in 'what', 'the', 'heck?', 'YES', 'NO', 'works', 'okay', 'for', 'me':
     print(s, shut_down(s))

c:\Users\Mark\MyPython>b.py
what Sorry, I didn't understand you
the Sorry, I didn't understand you
heck? Sorry, I didn't understand you
YES Shutting down...
NO Shutdown aborted!
works Sorry, I didn't understand you
okay Sorry, I didn't understand you
for Sorry, I didn't understand you
me Sorry, I didn't understand you
