 Please note: the `?.` syntax makes optional the value before it, but not any further.
 
-E.g. in `user?.address.street.name` the `?.` allows `user` to be `null/undefined`, but it's all it does. Further properties are accessed in a regular way. If we want some of them to be optional, then we'll need to replace more `.` with `?.`.
+E.g. in `user?.address.street.name` the `?.` allows `user` to safely be `null/undefined` (and returns `undefined` in that case), but that's only for `user`. Further properties are accessed in a regular way. If we want some of them to be optional, then we'll need to replace more `.` with `?.`.
 
 ```warn header="Don't overuse the optional chaining"
 We should use `?.` only where it's ok that something doesn't exist.
