+The `outerHTML` assignment does not modify the DOM element (the object referenced by, in this case, the variable 'div'), but removes it from the DOM and inserts the new HTML in its place.
 
 So what happened in `div.outerHTML=...` is:
 - `div` was removed from the document.
-- Another HTML `<p>A new element</p>` was inserted instead.
+- Another piece of HTML `<p>A new element</p>` was inserted in its place.
 - `div` still has the old value. The new HTML wasn't saved to any variable.
 
 It's so easy to make an error here: modify `div.outerHTML` and then continue to work with `div` as if it had the new content in it. But it doesn't. Such thing is correct for `innerHTML`, but not for `outerHTML`.
 
-We can write to `elem.outerHTML`, but should keep in mind that it doesn't change the element we're writing to. It creates the new HTML on its place instead. We can get references to new elements by querying DOM.
