Menu isn't inline-block with Modular CSS

I'm having trouble getting the menu to go to a incline-block in Modular CSS. I have compared the code to the code on the tutorial to make sure everything is correct, but it's still not acting like it should.

Here is my code: 

.nav {
 margin-top: em(20px);
 margin-bottom: em(30px);
 &__item {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 0 em(12px);
  a {
   font-size: em(18px);
   font-weight: $font-weight--light;
   color: palette(grey);
   display: block;
   padding: em(8px, 18px);
   border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
  }
  &--current a {
   color: palette(black);
   border-color: $color-primary;
  }
 }
}

<ul class="nav">
  <li class="nav__item"><a href="#">Typography</a></li>
  <li class="nav__item"><a href="#">Buttons</a></li>
  <li class="nav__item"><a href="#">Forms</a></li>
  <li class="nav__item"><a href="#">Images</a></li>
  <li class="nav__item"><a href="#">Grid</a></li>
  <li class="nav__item nav__item--current"><a href="#">Navigation</a></li>
</ul>

It worked after I tried it again.

Hi Eric Nevitt,

Your code seems fine. Did you compile your code to CSS, or use the sass --watch command in the console? If so, please post a screenshot of what it looks like in the browser preview. Thanks!
