Is this not right?

I don't know what i'm doing wrong as every time I click check work it just says 'Make sure you're including the correct transition duration.'

style.css 
/* nav-item transitions ---------- */

.nav-item {
    flex-grow: 1;
  transition: flex-grow .6s;
}

.nav-item:hover {
    flex-grow: 2;
}

/* nav icon transitions ---------- */

.icon {
  right: -25px;
}

.nav-item:hover .icon {
    right: 12%;
}
index.html

            <a class="nav-item" href="#">Work <i class="icon material-icons">work</i></a>
        </nav>

    </div>

The instructions say "...transition the flex-grow property of .nav-item over .5 seconds."

But this code is setting it to the larger value of .6s instead.

Yeah I though it meant any number greater than .5.

Oh I see! You can possibly interpret the word "over" as "greater than" instead of "during". You might want to make a suggestion to the Support folks about a rephrasing to clarify the objective.

Anyway, glad I could help. You can mark a question solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!
