Just some 2cent feedback - don't assume anything is known.

The BASIC lesson doesn't mention anything about /g. Having not touched regex in years I had no idea what that was and kept thinking 'why isn't he showing it matching a g if he has that in the example'.

Point. I've made the temporary omission of an explanation for /g explicit. I've also included a link to the relevant section of Flags in the note.
