Well, we have no way of correcting you without seeing the page. :-) You
can correct yourself, however. Does your proposed fix work? If so,
you're not all washed up. If not, then you are. ;-)
FWIW, I've never seen the need to specify each link pseudo-class
separately. Of course, I've never seen the need to specify font sizes on
the "a" element either -- the body and heading elements get font sizes,
and occasionally a footer or sidebar div, but that's it. I've found that
declaring font sizes on paragraphs, links, list items, etc, just causes
undue complication and problems.
Post a URL to your page and we can give you some help.
Best,
