Is there a typo on Vid 3 of How to build a WP Plugin or am I just not getting it?

In the code below - Should not the 

$content.=$new_content;

be 

$content.=$social_content; 

/* create our own function and pass in the content object */

    function make_content_social ($content) {

/*    b. makes sure that it is only seen on a single page and inside of the main loop  */ 

    if( is_singular () && is_main_query ()) {
        $social_content = ‘Insert in the social sharing code here’; 
        $content.=$new_content; 

}
    return $content; 
}

add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘make_content_social’);

I tested a similar function on mamp and it worked with the variable setup that i mentioned - - so I am assuming that it was a misprint in the program.
