Hi,
I prefer the MDN's definition at
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/forEach>

"If a thisArg parameter is provided to forEach, it will be used as the this value for each callback invocation as if callback.call(thisArg, element, index, array) was called. If thisArg is undefined or null, the this value within the function depends on whether the function is in strict mode or not (passed value if in strict mode, global object if in non-strict mode)."

Cheers,
JR
