I'm saying the semantics of the terminology don't matter. (Although I'm not disputing that it would be nice if it is mostly correct.) XMLHttpRequest, while being woefully inaccurate from a semantic point of view (it's not just about XML or even HTTP), works fine. The difference between "flexbox" and "flex" is way more subtle than that. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
