I'm copying the code exactly as it is from the video and I get an error:
window.setTimout((something) => {
console.log(something);
}, 3000, 'Greetings, everyone!');
VM268:1 Uncaught TypeError: window.setTimout is not a function at <anonymous>:1:8
Any help to understand this would be great. Thanks!

window.setTimout((something) => {
console.log(something);
}, 3000, 'Greetings, everyone!');

Courses Plus Student 7,340 PointsNo problem. The error in words are fairly common and something that a developer have to review always.
