CSS CSS Foundations Backgrounds and Borders Box Shadows

Possible errors in video, though small

The HTML classes don't match up with the CSS. The HTML shows:

<body>
    <div class="rounded box"></div>
    <div class="oval box"></div>
</body>

But the CSS shows:

.rounded {

}

.oval {

}

Also, Guil refers to the 5px as "blur radius" at time stamp 4:40, when actually it appears to be the "spread." 

box-shadow: inset 0 10px 10px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.8);

You can see this when he changes the spread radius from 5px to 4px at time stamp 5:15.

The class rounded box and oval box, are not one class, he refers to the correctly. rounded and box are two separate class on the same div, not one. Same with oval and box. Yes, sometimes the teachers make mistakes in their references but rarely. It is a minor error that should not affect how people learn. I hope this helps!

Yes, I noticed that second one too. It confused me a bit, maybe a note should be added about that in the comments?
