In summary, semantic is where you use the elements to provide as much correct 
meaning for their content as possible.

It is the discussion of what is the correct meaning, where we get into the 
field of semantics.
Semantics can be like a philosophy discussion, but about html instead rather 
than humans.


I came across today what semantically beautiful code looks like.

And other resources that provide a good rundown of what's expected
