Description
Hello
Huge thanks for your valuable tutorial, I am re-working with JS and because JS itself evolves I am refreshing my knowledge with your tutorial
Just in case in the following page
* https://javascript.info/logical-operators
Appears many times the "falsy" term. I thought it was an error but actually it is a valid term in JS
It indicated at (and in other pages):
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Falsy
Therefore consider in add a special note indicating why is used the "falsy" term and not "false" (as is expected at first glance)
Thanks for your understanding

Research direction
