10,415 Points<dt> tag, Definition Term or Definition TItle. Mistake persists
In the stage 3 namely "Lists" of HTML Deep Dive, there is a video in which DL and DT tags are discussed. Nick made a mistake in calling the <dt> tag as "Definition Title" where as the correct name for this tag is "Definition Term". Another user reported this mistake in the forum and the correct name "Definition Term" was then mentioned in the "Teacher's Notes" under that video. However, when I revisited the quiz for this stage, the word used in the questions asked was still "Definition Title". My suggestion is to change the wrong word so that newbies aren't misguided anymore.

39,199 PointsOfficially the dt element is defined by the W3C as:
The dt element represents the term or name part of a term-description (name-value) grouping in a description list.

10,415 PointsThanks for your reply. I know what dt element represents. I was only saying to correct the wrong word in the quiz section as well i.e. definition title in the quiz should be replaced with definition term.

10,415 PointsBut Nick himself mentions in the Teacher's Notes that dt is commonly known as Definition Term. source: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/html/lists/definition-lists
Either Nick should add in the Teacher's Notes that dt doesn't have a name or the quiz section should be corrected.
