Qualifying selectors like that is always a bad idea because: 1) What if you ever need to use the selector on a different element? 2) A performance hit (though so slight it might as well not matter) 3) Increased specificity I have written a

We’re English so it’s hard to balance the two; we used ‘favorite’ as that’s what they’re called on Twitter but proper English has crept in in places. We’ll probably move over to all American–English at some point. Cheers! H
