print("veryfing user: " = currentuser())
comfirmedusers.append(currentuser)
print("\nThe following users have been confirmed:")
for comfirmedusers in comfirmedusers:
print(comfirmedusers.title())

Going forward: Make your subject line descriptive. Use code tags. Post the full traceback, not just one line from it.
As for your question, I didn't try running the code, but anything like
"string" = function_call()isn't gonna work. What do you intend for such lines to do? I see two of them.

print is a function. When you call a function the arguments are separated by commas, not '='.
currentuser is not defined as a function anywhere. Since it is not a function you cannot call it using currentuser().
print("veryfing user: " = currentuser())
# should be
print("veryfing user:", currentuser)Though this does not cause a crash it is still a really bad idea:for comfirmedusers in comfirmedusers:
print(comfirmedusers)Do not use the same name to refer both a list and an item in the list. When the above code completes the original list is gone. Instead do this:for user in comfirmedusers:
print(user)confirmedusers is a list of strings. Well it would be if there weren't so many other errors. A list does not understand .title and doesn't know how to do .title().You have one thing right. You are really confused. I think you need to start out with some simpler examples, or a few guided tutorials. You should also do some reading to understand the basics of the language. Not fun I know, but a lot better than the heaps of frustration heading your way otherwise.
Good Luck.
