This study compares two websites with similar design: the commercial Spotlight template from developers of Tailwind vs the same site with semantic CSS.

Why the editorialized title? Why not use the one from the article?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know what "semantic css" is, to me that's just normal css. I felt the original title could be confusing for people.

But you didn't use the word normal / plain / vanilla. You used proper, which is a loaded word.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But plain CSS is proper CSS. Tailwind is training wheels for people who don't want to learn CSS.

Oh no, loaded words.

I've changed it to 'normal' :)

You could just as easily use the article's title and save your opinions for the post body or the comments, but you didn't.

Oh no, implicit bias. Twice!

Please just use the original title. Semantic CSS is an actual thing and it takes 2 seconds to google what it is.

This is kinda strange. You think I'm going to reword my post a second time??

If you don't like a post, just downvote it or contribute some better posts.

You're probably pissing in the wind tho as this is the most upvoted post in this community in the last 6 months hahaha https://programming.dev/c/webdev?dataType=Post&sort=TopSixMonths

That guy just pulled the same "misinterpret what you said, pretend it was your fuckup instead of my own overeager interpretation problem" to me here: https://lemm.ee/comment/10695316

Your use of the word "proper" was ... proper as a matter of fact. This guy's just an idiot who enjoys adding a confounding interpretation with his own distorting commentary.
