on an innocent readership by those so desperate to follow fashion
that they are unable or unwilling to take the time to separate
the wheat of true creativity from the chaff of mindless mimicry.
My first thought was "'gonna' and 'wanna' aren't technical terminology,
they are bad grammar." My second thought was "none of that helps me
or anyone else to learn or apply CSS."
Can we put the discussion of jargon aside and talk about CSS now?
