VS Code says 'event' use like this is deprecated

What is the alternative using 'e' as a param in the function and replacing event with 'e'? what's the difference? haha

listDiv.addEventListener('mouseover', (e) => {
  if (e.target.tagName == 'LI') {
  e.target.textContent = e.target.textContent.toUpperCase();
  }
});

listDiv.addEventListener('mouseout', (e) => {
  if (e.target.tagName == 'LI') {
    e.target.textContent = e.target.textContent.toLowerCase();
  }
});

Thanks for posting. I think I get it it. Just best practice to add as a parameter and avoid global variables in a function?
