Slight inaccuracy found in text

In the Free Code Camp material on the page about basic html and html5 and creating a set of checkboxes there is a small mistake.

Checkboxes are a type of input .

Should be:

Checkboxes are a type of checkbox .

Thanks for the great material!

But checkboxes are a type of input.

To add to what @JeremyLT said:

w3schools describes all the input types here:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_type.asp

And, considering input elements have a type checkbox:

<input type="checkbox" value="val">

This would be read as “checkbox is a type of input”.

Thank you, for helping us keep the freeCodeCamp content consistent, but, in this case, I cannot see any misdemeanour.

You guys are right, I feel a bit silly right now. Thanks!
