Thanks!  I did google. Alas, couldn't even get the spelling correct.  
I googled 'quirkmode' (wait! maybe I typed quickmode) and the result

Choosing a doctype in order to trigger your choice of rendering mode is

AFAIK, most times you put Gecko in standards mode, you do the same with
other browsers as well.

Hi,

Please tolerate my ignorance.

 I always thought transitional doctypes are quirkmode but today I  
was told it's not, the quirkmode is when a page has no doctype declared.
