What is CSS?

I've never seen, or heard of, a technology that's worse than CSS.
It's so bad I think we need to invent a new word to describe it.
Maybe CSS is just CSS and that says it all.
I'd rather develop a VB application with an Access database and Crystal Reports than type one cursed line of CSS that doesn't do what I intended anyway.
height: 100%; (CSS laughs at you, it doesn't do height unless EVERYTHING gets a height and then it'll mess up because you have some margin's or something!)
width: 50px; (CSS laughs at you again, maybe it does width, but only if all variables are exactly right.)
You want to stick something to the bottom of the page? HA HA HA YOU MORTAL FOOL! You'd best rewrite your entire HTML so you can apply exactly the required CSS to each element and ONLY that, for an extra div or an extra height property will damn you to heck!
Developing CSS is like playing D&D with a 20-sided die that only has 1's on it, but you don't notice so it seems as if you roll a critical miss every single time.

So if there's somebody you REALLY hate, the ultimate insult would be "You lousy piece of CSS"?

It's actually running rampant - the governor, by his own example, has shown how it can be cured.
You simply let it progress until there's not a trace of brain left and the amoeba simply starve. Of course, there's the possibility that by these prinicpals he had a natural immunity . . . .

On many satire sites, you will see something like "Florida man <does something incredibly stupid and/or dangerous>". Supposedly all men in Florida are from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Excel has a keyboard shortcut for "copy the value from the cell above this": CTRL+SHIFT+DoubleQuote ANd it works fine - but it's a pain to use if you want "dup, tab, dup, tab, dup, tab" to fill a chunk of a row with the data from the row above and just fill in the bits that changed since yesterday.
So, I google for "Excel change shortcut key" and it tells me to use File...Settings...Customize the ribbon; Keyboard shortcuts.
So I do, and the button isn't there. Maybe that's an earlier version? Try another link. Same thing. And another ... turns out that works in Word, but ... you can't change keyboard shortcuts in Excel. Not at all. The official advice from MS is to "create a macro and assign it to a key". 
Consistency. Don't you just love it?

Maybe their starting codebases are different:
- Microsoft Word came from Wordstar,
- Microsoft Excel came from Lotus123.
Just kidding, I'm not serious

Going in the other direction: Most MS-Office products have Ctrl-; for today's date - that still works in Excel, but Word has never had it. I had to write a macro in Word 6 (but didn't bother when I upgraded to Word 97).

Maybe it's easier to use that shortcut with a US keyboard layout - IIRC, the double-quote key is just above the right Shift key.
You can't expect a tiny startup like Microsoft to consider things like i18n!

What annoys me most about it is that you can do it in Word - keyboard shortcuts can be changed.
But Word doesn't have CTRL+; and that's a really useful combo in Excel: today's date.
They go to a lot of effort to get them "looking the same" and ignore all the "nice touches" that make them work for users ...
