<LINK> isn't a mozilla "made up" tag.  It's part of the w3c standard.

I haven't looked it up myself, but i assume your right. just wondering why "made up" is quoted... haven't actually seen the phrase "made up" anywhere in this topic except this post. anyways... yeah! it's a standard (i thinks).

Look on page one of this topic... Search for "invent". It wasn't an exact quote.

I know, it's just that it's one of my peeves when people quote things that aren't actually said... i cant explain it. just a little thing that bugs me. So I have to point it out for once, if I didn't i'd go to sleep with nightmares and never walk strait again.

i see quotes (using quotation marks) as being either an actual quote, or a way to emphasize something, almost sarcastically.

That's what bugs me, how can quotes be anything but a quote? Doesn't matter, I just felt like posting something, it's been a while. This is getting a bit off topic, i'm sorry people, I need some sleep though, haven't slept in about 4 days.

You wouldn't happen to be related to X11 would you?

you're right. if you are quoting somebody sarcastically, then you look like a prize dumbass if they didn't actually say what you are ridiculing them for saying (even if the gist is the same) in my opinion.

pedants of the world unite! (actually it should be 'pedants of the world are united' or should it be...)

I used the quotes because I can't figure out how to make the Dr. Evil hand signals in UBB.

We invented a death ray which called a "LASER..."

I apologize for confusion.

im sorry, i should have been more clear. Its not quoting them sarcastically, its a way to emphasize a particular word. like using DrEvil hand quotes. I suppose we could just make that particular text bold instead of using quotes. or use 'word' instead of "word"

you know one pointless thing i noticed about these forums? this is different from this!

the first one uses the QB tag and the second one uses the B tag. this translates into html as <strong> and <b> respectively. it's kind of like the difference between <em> and <i> ie: it's there but there's no point for it, or at least i have never found an html viewer that displays the two differently.
