That's what I used to do as well when starting with web development... I was typing every single character by hand though, because I didn't know shortcuts, not even copy&paste.
Non-breaking doesn't necessarily mean non-collapsing. Though most renderers will not collapse those, I do believe it'd be okay by unicode.
Meanwhile,
&is for ampersand, a.k.a.&Furthermore,
a.k.a; is for "Also Known As"... i.e. another name.A bit furthermore,
i.e.stands forid estand means roughly "that is".The way I remember the difference between i.e. and e.g. is that, people think i.e. means "in/for example" but actually that's e.g. -- i.e. is "specifically"
Just never, never, never say "ect.". Makes me twitch every time I see it in print. Even worse when I see someone I know is an experienced UNIX/Linux user make that botch.
@GeorgeJempty I always thought of "i.e." as "in essence"
Additionalmost,
i.e.is for "id est", a Latin browser most people try to forget.I always thought that i.e. was In Example, and e.g. Example Given...
Actually, e.g. stands for exempli gratia in Latin, which means "for the sake of example".
And & is short for et c.
I've got a "smart aleck of the day" award around here somewhere for you...... :P
What do I get for "anti-virgule"?
Is that a pointer in this notation?
I love that it's non-breaking. It's a super power. I use it to attach a right angle quote to the end of a link's text to make sure it wraps with the last word:
<a>Some amount of text here »</a>That will keep "here" and the arrows together. It'll keep you from getting a random 1 line of text and 1 line with just >>
It's still "nubsip" in my head. Sometimes, "nubusp".
My internal voice always says "noobspace." I don't know why.
nbsp; = never boil smelly potatoes;
You can't tell me what to do
😂
Feeling kind of dump but my brain associated it with "no blank space" during my training time back then even though I knew it produced a blank space and ever since was wired to that term.
Should get used to the real meaning 😂
So many of these things we rarely question!
Sharing the knowledge is
>keeping it to yourself.Been a user of for a loooong time. A number of entities and ALT-key glyphs. Has confused many a co-worker, over the years, that I so frequently type characters from my number key pad (and that I've got so many memorized).
Yep, and there's also &sp; which is a "breaking space".
I knew this 💪 #10xdev
‍Such a honest tweet!
It’s crazy how many things in different languages we use, that have strange starts.
Btw what the hell is a tuple...
Double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, sextuple, septuple, and so on. It's the generalization of a grouping of things, an n-tuple is group of n things. Although, I always read tuple as too-pull, not tupp-ell as it's pronounced in quintuple.
Always makes me think of:

And here I was the opposite. Remembering "Non Breaking Space" was how I always remembered that the code was
URL - Uniform Resource Locator
URI - Uniform Resource Identifier
I mean it makes sense. But it doesn't make sense that I only learned this.... yesterday lol
@ben I had a feeling that everyone knowing a little html would know this thing but I perhaps I had overused it back when it was used for padding/margin !!!
I've used this for hacks in my early career more than i'd care to admit....
