  WGN-TV weekend anchors Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange do a little dance number each Saturday and Sunday night during their telecast's first commercial break. Word is that it started out as a short 10-second dance, but now they have choreographed it into the full 2:40 of the break.

I know and use the first two of those HTML tags, and know but don't use the last. The other two would probably not be much use to me.

Brings back memories of all the brain damage LSD did to people who didn't take it. Somehow we never got that generation of kids born with nonstandard numbers of limbs and such because their parents had dabbled in the filthy stuff.

re: HTML tags:

<wbr> isn't part of any of the standards.

<q> doesn't insert quotations - that's for the :before and :after pseudo-elements and the content property in CSS). The problem re: IE is not that it doesn't support q, but that it doesn't implement all of CSS2.

<bdo> is used when mixing rtl and ltr text in the same document. The author of the blog post has never had to typeset Hebrew or Arabic fragments alongside English (etc).

A bit of a sloppy article, unfortunately.
