Dear World,

How did the Ger­man verb sein end up so whacked?

Yours sin­cere­ly,

   — Andy

Great arti­cle from The New Civ­il Rights Move­ment.

Fuck you Chris­t­ian! JUDITH IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. You can­not con­vince me this sub­sti­tute is bet­ter than JUDITH.

I just noticed–are Chris­tian’s pants made of vel­vet? Some­one give that wardrobe girl/gay a raise.

I have to remem­ber that when I vis­it a Zeld­man post not to read the com­ments because most of them dri­ve me insane. Notes to future commenters:

• XHTML is no more ‘seman­tic’ than HTML4. You were just doing it wrong.
• Stan­dards mode is trig­ger­able by a HTML4 Strict doctype.
• HTML5 is not the death of XHTML (Wikipedia entry, third sen­tence).
• HTML5 has a more seman­tic vocab­u­lary than unex­tend­ed XHTML, not the oth­er way around.
• XHTM­L’s major ben­e­fits — stricter syn­tax and namespace–based exten­si­bil­i­ty — are avail­able in HTML5’s XML serialisation.
• You’re free to con­tin­ue to ignore the dra­con­ian yel­low screen of death issues by serv­ing con­tent in vio­la­tion of spec.

I’m sure Zeld­man is sick of hear­ing you par­rot his words inac­cu­rate­ly. Much of the com­ment­ing is two or three knowl­edge­able peo­ple try­ing to cor­rect some­one’s froth­ing, mis­in­formed or even malign post. The ben­e­fit of this oppor­tu­ni­ty for reed­u­ca­tion is off­set by the amount of crap one must wade through to find valid information.

Thanky­ou.
