"specific" and "finely grained" mean the same thing so it's probably enough to have one. "specific" is shorter, so I chose that version. Also, if keeping "finely grained" is desired, it might be better to change it to the idiomatic form which is "fine-grained way" rather than "finely grained way".

Thanks for the PR - please see the comment below.
Also, not something you've done, just an existing issue, but while you're at it, would you giving the note box at line 101 an appropriate heading? Something like #### Specificity notation or similar.
The heading must be surrounded by a single blank line each side and must not be indented. See this repo's layout style guide for more info.

- changed "specific" to "more fine-grained" per mao-sz's request - add the missing h4 header to the lesson note per the layout guide https://github.com/TheOdinProject/curriculum/blob/main/LAYOUT_STYLE_GUIDE.md#note-boxes - layout guide pointed out the correct markdown attribute is markdown="1", so I added missing quotes

| The (0,0,1,0) above is the notation for calculating specificity. To find out more about how it works, glance over the "Calculating CSS Specificity Value" section from this [article on CSS Specificity](https://css-tricks.com/specifics-on-css-specificity/). | ||

All good, thank you! Well, just the tiny change needed here since our style guide wants headings to be in sentence case. Once that's changed, we'll be good to merge.

Issue
It's a tiny word choice suggestion. "finely grained" doesn't sound correct. It might be better to change it to the idiomatic form, which is "fine-grained way" rather than "finely grained way". But I suggest removing it altogether because "specific" is pointing to the same meaning.
