Description

https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/en.javascript.info/blob/master/1-js/02-first-steps/17-arrow-functions-basics/article.md

In this article. From my understanding of what Arguments and Parameters are, it looks like the use of the word Arguments is used in the wrong context. The word Parameters should be used.

From my understanding "Arguments" describes the values being passed when it's called. And "Parameters" describe the variable placeholders that receive the "Arguments" being passed.

Unless it being an "Arrow Function" changes the context. I apologize if I'm wrong as I'm still learning.
