    STOP USING CSS

    * HTML WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN CLASSES
    * YEARS OF MARKUP yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for styling beyond <TABLE>
    * Wanted to center content for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “<CENTER>”
    * “Yes please align that content exactly 32.89% left. Please align 59.0px down”
        - Statements dreams up by the utterly deranged

    LOOK at what FRONT-END Devs  have been demanding your Respect for all this time.
    (This is REAL CSS. done by REAL Devs)

    [Three screenshots of CSS code, each one marked with a number of red question marks. The first screenshot has five question marks and reads as follows:]

    h1 {
            font-size: .75em;
            position: absolute;
            bottom: 20px;
            width: 94%;
            left: 2%;
    }
    

    [The second screenshot has eight question marks and reads as follows:]

    *{
        font-size: 30px;
    
    }
        q::before {
      content: "«";
      color: blue;
    ]
    
    q::after {
      content: "»";
      color: red;
    }
    

    [The third screenshot has sixteen question marks and reads as follows:]

    #header ul a:focus, #header ul a:active,
    #header ul a:hover {
        background-color: #5A5A5A;
        outline-color: -moz-use-text-color:
        outline-style: none;
        outline-width: medium;
    }
    

    [The screenshots end.]

    “Hello center that div please”

    They have played us for absolute fools
