Learned a new word, thanks!
Haha thanks for commenting with the definition. I considered doing that myself, since I too only just recently learned the word, but somehow it feels kind of condescending to do it myself.
New word for me too. Maybe link the word to the definition? I’ve been reading a lot more lately and feel like my grammar and vocabulary has improved.
I wish I could do like a title tag, like
foo <abbr title="bees are regal">bar</abbr> baz
.
lol yeah, would’ve been weird if you did it, and I wanted to save some folks the time. I wonder if it would still be condescending if you just linked a word to a page with its definition?
