I'm on the objects stage (Stage 6) of JavaScript, and my Google browser's console ran fine until using jim.["favorite color"] object. I compared the code Jim typed in the video with mine and still can't find what I did wrong.
//Java Script Objects
var jim = {
name: "Jim",
skills: ["JavaScript", "Ruby", "Dancing"],
"favorite color": "green"
};
jim["favorite color"] = "blue";
console.log(jim.["name"]);
console.log(jim.["favorite color"]);

It looks like you're using both the dot notation as well as the bracket notation to log the properties of Jim. Try removing the period between Jim
and the brackets.
console.log(jim["name"]);
console.log(jim["favorite color"]);
