Whoops, that's exactly what I did.  Yeah, when I keep that set
correctly, the text is just too wide in the system sans-serif.  Dang.

(Note that your result is because the <li>s are still set to
display:inline, so they're all put together inside of a single
table-cell or flexbox item.  If you turn off that line or set them to
display:block or list-item, they'll stay on one line, but they'll all
run together and slightly overflow.)

So yeah, Matthew, your example does indeed need more than what I
thought.  Your font is so narrow!
