I very much prefer "masonry" over "staggered". Even if there is this usage of "staggered" in Android, in the web virtually everybody calls it "masonry". In fact, as a non-native English speaker this is the first time that I have encountered the word "staggered". Like, most JS frameworks for this have "masonry" in their name, e.g. https://masonry.desandro.com/, https://mui.com/material-ui/react-masonry/, https://github.com/Spope/MiniMasonry.js. Or if not in the name, in the description, e.g. https://github.com/bigbite/macy.js/blob/e4d30803dfd362c5c0c28cd0f9ace53df8dc81dc/package.json#L3 Or even Apple blog posts, [which aren't a big fan of the word "masonry"](https://webkit.org/blog/16026/css-masonry-syntax/#footnote-1), can't avoid using the word "masonry" in the title. Because that's what everybody calls this. So IMO we shouldn't do authors a disservice by choosing a word that nobody uses, and just choose "masonry". And with the requirement to include "grid", either `grid-masonry` or `masonry-grid`. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Loirooriol Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-3336152921 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
