macOS Program skipping "if", going straight to "else"

My suggestion (which i coded up, though I felt it would be best for you to work through this on your own) would be a class with a single class method that takes an NSString * and returns an NSString * with the replacements made. This definitely would make it more versatile than having input and output going on in the various instance methods, etc.

Ok, don't show me yours, because I'd like to try this on my own, but there's one part I'm a little confused about. Would it perform the shortening within this method? Or would it take a tweet object and then return the shortened tweet?

There is no tweet. There is no shortened tweet. The class could be called TweetShortener, and could have a single shortenString: method. This is just one approach, there are others. You'd take an NSString * and return one.

Ok, I get what you're saying, focus on getting it to work. Sounds good. Working on it now...

What. The. Hell. It freakin' works, I don't have any idea what I changed or what I did, but It works now. Perfectly. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO sorry to those of you who put your time into this (especially Chown and Lee), I know that it now seems like wasted time. But it wasn't a COMPLETE waste, I learned about cleaning up my code, or "breaking it down", and cleaning it up in general. Thanks a lot, and again, I'm SOO sorry for wasting your time.
