I spend too much time in a text editor

This took me totally by surprise

[MatthewHSE]

I was typing away in Word the other day and needed to use italic text. I'm not used to WYSIWYG editors, so I kid you not, this is what I typed before I realized it:

<i>Whatever it was</i>

Needless to say, Word did not italicize the text! ;)

Now I'd know I was REALLY a geek if I'd typed it with <em> tags instead....

Don't you use CSS? <i> tags are soooo yesterday. :-)

No no no, you've got it the wrong way round - you're spending too much time in Word. ;)

I still split the screen in DW8 and watch how it codes. Ya gotta be careful, ya know. ;-)

If there are any vim user out there, who hasn't felt embarassed by hitting <esc> all the time typing urls or in text boxes such as this one...

Don't you use CSS?

Yes, I use extensive CSS (including table-less CSS layouts) but to me, <em> and <strong> are appropriate because they have semantic meaning. <i> is just my laziness showing through! ;)

No no no, you've got it the wrong way round - you're spending too much time in Word.

Heh heh, yes, I guess that would be the better way to say it!
