Comment about the second task of the "gradients" challenge

It's not a question, actually, it's a comment to the community, Walter from the team told me to bring it here so that I can share it with every student so here it is.

Object: task 2 of 4, topic "gradients"

the second task reads: "Next, add a background-image property and define a linear gradient function as the value."

ADD... so I added my "background-image" property after the first one (task 1), i.e, "background-color" since it says "ADD" in the text. I tried "background-image: linear-gradient();" afterwards I tried to enter a value with: "background-image: linear-gradient(to left, firebrick, blue)"... still not working, getting a "bummer" alert all the way thru...

consequently, the teaching team does need to correct the text in specifying that the first property of the first task must be DELETED to pass, personally, I needed to ask for help on that one which is nuts, since it was not a coding error in the first place.

And as such, I'm sure every student will fall into this trap since there is "ADD" in the text, which is false and misleading.

Hope that helps every student,

Nicolas
