Concern

In the previous section, following the youtube video for Mac OS users, we were prompted to create a bunch of folders under the ~/Development/code directories for all our upcoming flatiron work.

In the Mac OS video, we were prompted to name the folder for our prepwork stuff "prework"

However, in the following lesson (the one I link to above) it refers to that folder as "se-prep," not "prework". It goes on to say we need to navigate to that directory and work out of there for every assignment, so it's an important detail; I am concerned that this disparity in naming convention between lessons might confuse absolute beginners.
