It might just be me, but I don't understand the word 'named' in this sentence:

Although the code works, there is potential for mistakes because literally any type can be used for the key or value. If another developer used your variable named and expected all the items to be a certain type, they might cast them to that type and get exceptions because some values might be a different type. A lookup object with lots of items would also give poor performance.

Thanks. I've added an errata for this here: https://github.com/markjprice/cs12dotnet8/blob/main/docs/errata/errata.md#page-305---working-with-non-generic-types
