 #### 💡 Explanation:
 
-*  `a += b` doesn't always behave the same way as `a = a + b`.  Classes *may* implement the op= operators differently, and lists do this.
+*  `a += b` doesn't always behave the same way as `a = a + b`.  Classes *may* implement the *`op=`* operators differently, and lists do this.
 
 * The expression `a = a + [5,6,7,8]` generates a new list and sets `a`'s reference to that new list, leaving `b` unchanged.
