Not to be pedantic... but eq(4) isn't the last element... shouldn't it be the 5th element (which happens to be last)?

I think that it should have been stated in the video that directly choosing an element like that isn't really good practice as you often can't guarantee it will be the last one. Also, that goes the same with using $('li span') to grab the span you just created. It will grab ALL spans inside li elements, which may not be the desired behaviour.

But eq(4) would be the 5th element, since the eq(0) is the first element (index values start at 0).
