What a fascinating discussion to read. Jenn's article is a very compelling argument for including “masonry” (or whatever it will be called) in Grid, given how many options and combinations can be created. But having the likes of Rachel Andrew argue otherwise certainly gives me pause. At least we would have to modify how we explain Grid, as it will no longer strictly be a layout algorithm for columns and rows — although it's not too much of a stretch to add "unless you want to tightly pack elements along one axis" or something like that. This discussion is all in English, though, and we are a pretty privileged bunch getting to discuss which English word will be used for this. At least it should be something easy to understand and spell. Even I have trouble spelling “separate”, let alone “disintegrate” etc., which many people would have to learn to spell, remember and understand as a concept. Something like “off” is much simpler and to the point, even if you can argue it's not strictly true. Maybe “tight” would be an option, but then you get spelling and perhaps comprehension issues again. -- GitHub Notification of comment by pageaffairs Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9733#issuecomment-2087501461 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
