Hi @osborn.

In CSS, there’s an order of precedence for style commands. There’s a whole list, but the rule that applies here is this: the more specific a rule is, the higher precedence it has.

What this means is that even though you’ve put the rule for p lower down than the .red-text rule, the red-text rule is more specific; the p rule applies to all p tags, but the red-text rule only applies to tags with the red-text class. Therefore, the “font-family: Lobster” rule overrides the monospace rule.

You can find an explanation of order of precedence here:
