CSS style for

2009-02-06 Thread Paul Scott
I haven't complimented our fantastic documentation lately.  It is truely 
amazing!!


Is it true for anyone else that the effective font for all the HTML 
enclosed in  tags is somewhat smaller which in not a problem 
except for symbols like "^", etc.?  If so would anyone consider adding a 
style for  tags which slightly increased the font size.


I see this with Firefox 3 and the latest Debian version of SeaMonkey.

Thanks for reading this,

Paul Scott

Many browsers set the default size of monospace fonts smaller than
serif and sans-serif fonts.  This includes any browser with the Gecko
rendering engine, which Firefox and SeaMonkey both have.

The problem is that other browsers (most notably IE and Opera) do not
have this particular setting.  So, if we increase the font size of
monospace fonts, everything enclosed in  tags will be larger
than the regular text!

So, my best recommendation is to increase the default size of
monospace fonts within your browser.

As a cat person, I agree entirely.  This is pretty much the only
time in my life that I'll express agreement with the English
language... being surrounded by nothing but ESL people now (and
trying to teach them better English), I have newfound appreciation
for what a completely stupid language English is.


English isn't a silly language at all - it's what the Americans have 
done to it :-)


Seriously, the problem is that (certainly in England), Grammar and 
Etymology seem almost to be forbidden subjects. Combined with the 
attitude of "there's no such thing as right or wrong" which seems to be 
prevalent among certain sections of the TEFL community (Teaching English 
as a Foreign Language), the result is an awful mess.


I was surprised recently to discover how FEW rules it takes to pronounce 
English words. Given that the average person has a 20,000 word 
vocabulary, it apparently only takes about 30 or 40 rules for a computer 
speech program to *correctly* pronounce the 50,000 most common English 
words.


The problem is all the words that have made their way into English, but 
are not properly anglicised.


Cheers,
Wol
