Just a funny inconsistency

In a previous CSS video by Treasure, she mentions that she always writes border styles like this:

border: solid black 4px;

Even though the order doesn't matter. But in this video she writes:

border: solid 4px black;

Not a big deal, just thought it was funny.

:point_right: What's funnier is that neither conforms to the order in the formal syntax.

According to MDN, the formal syntax for the shorthand border property values is:
      <br-width> || <br-style> || <color>

So following that, an example would be:

border: 4px solid black;
