For "create a new font stack using baskerville, times new roman, times, serif" I have:
p {
font-family: baskerville, "times new roman", times, serif;
}
It says it's wrong, what is it supposed to be? Thanks!

p { font-family: "Baskerville", "Times New Roman", "Times", serif; }

Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsYou need to capitalize the names of the fonts for this question see the code below.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
p { font-family: Baskerville, "Times New Roman", Times, Serif; }

I made a test case on codepen
If inspect the test text both of them are being rendered with Baskerville.
