I've always wondered how you actually go about posting recs in the first place. Anybody wanna solve the mystery for me?

What's a privil edge?
Civil Privil, of course, is the beaver manifestation of an attorney in the new and popular children's book: "Civil Privil and the lurking willow". The book is very modern and progressive in that it doesn't favoritise any gender, race, religion or choice of career. Also, it's language is not in the usually simple manner that we're used to with children's books, since that can be offensive to any children above the average (all the other children can just pretend they understand). Here's an extract:
"As Civil Privil reached the edge, (s)he was hindered by a very, very deep canyon. Well, the day an obstacle like that can regress the progress of our great hero, is the day when the hedgehog Civil Ian knows what (s)he's actually talking about. Challenged by the haunting gap of the canyon Civil Privil hesitated for about a second and then leaped out, reaching for the other end. (S)He had a belief in no specific God (or none for that matter), and knew (s)he could do it because of that inner strength that all creatures possess by nature. Flying through the air (but not in any way being special because of the ability to do this without wings) Civil Privil could enjoy the glorious view of the canyon from above. Not that this makes Civil Privil in any way more special than any of the creatures strawling about down there in the canyon."
Yes. "Civil Privil and the lurking willow" is an instant classic in the world of children's books, and it would surprise me if indeed it's author Noo Ne In Parti Cular (from Pakistan) doesn't get a nobel prize sometime in the future.
Privil edge is thus a way of saying: "When you're faced with obstacles in life, don't let that stop you. Do, what anyone can do. Take the leap and fly across the canyon, like Civil Privil did."
[Edit:]
It should be Privil's edge, of course. But you can't expect too much from the poster's in these forums. Just look at their choice of children's books for crying out loud.

How do you pronounce "HTMLically"

Originally posted by WulebgrNever, NEVER, in my life have I relied on Microsoft Frontpage to do anything for me. Thus, I have no idea what you're talking about. But, suffice it to say, a textual hyperlink is simply text that you can click and get to another page (or another place within the page), whereas a button is a small box with text in it. You can click anywhere on a button and still activate it's action, but you must click the text on the textual hyperlink to activate the link. Also, the cursor usually turns into a pointing hand when over a textual hyperlink but not over a button.

How do you pronounce "HTMLically"
There's a thin line between some hyperlinks and buttons, simply because hyperlinks like the blue ones above the forum (for instance) are trying to pose as buttons when they are in fact hyperlinks. I can forgive (the big person I am 😉 ) if you mistake those blue things for buttons, but not if you mistake a bluish, textual hyperlink for a button. That should be punishable by law. By Bon, you should be thrown into jail for even suggesting that it can be considered a button.
