Small error in video for AJAX and API

I hate to nitpick but I thought I might point this out in case it causes someone confusion in the future. At about 36 seconds into the video there is an example of adding the ?format=json query to a url in order to retrieve the file in JSON formatting. At the same time, Dave is narrating, but refers to using the query $format=json. I imagine most people would know right away that Dave simply misspoke and meant to say "question mark" when he said "dollar sign", but I thought I would mention it anyway in case Treehouse thought it would be worthwhile to edit the soundtrack.

Cheers.

I should mention the specific video is Stage 4 Beginning the Project

arghhh. You're right! It's at the 22 second mark. Sorry about that mistake and any confusion it causes. I'll see how we can fix this.

Thanks for pointing this out Richmond Lauman

No problem Dave. Like I said, it was a small error. Most people would probably not get hung up on it or might look at the example and not even register what you said anyway. But I figured you would want to know anyway. I finished the course and it was brilliant. I am kicking myself for not having learned AJAX years ago!! I did not even know what AJAX was for or how useful it could be to me until I started the course. So.... Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

I went to make the same comment and saw you'd already pointed it out... I guess I'm about 6 months too late

Its still there in 2018 but I don't think its a big enough deal for Treehouse to waste their resources fixing it. Rather them keep pushing that new content! Its such a minor error...
