CSS CSS Basics (2014) Understanding Values and Units Rem Units

I think it's a bit mistake on this video

Hey Guil & Others, In this video a wrong word is used.From 11 seconds to 21 seconds on this video guil said " 0:11 Now REM stands for root-M, and it's similar to an M unit, 0:16 the difference is that it's only relative to the root element of the page, 0:21 not any parent element like REMs are."

I think in in the 21 seconds here should use Ems instead of REMs. Isn't it?

Hey there,

Yep, I accidentally said 'rems' instead of 'ems'. I just updated the captions and will include something about it in the teacher's notes. :)

Hi Bala,

Good spot, it looks like Guil does mean Em's 21 seconds into the video. Maybe the CC text can be changed or an update to the teachers notes?

I expect Guil Hernandez is busy with other courses but I'll flag it up for his attention when he can get to it. :)

No no unfortunately Guil said REMs instead of EMs...........Please watch the video

I did. :) I must have mis-remembered but you are right. But still, it's nothing my suggestions like edits to the notes or captions couldn't solve. and this is why we have all of us in the Treehouse Community. :-)
