I am grossly offended by this
.grid-item {
...
height: 4.5rem;
width: 4.5rem;
}
That's a square.
Fine, a square is a rectangle. But that's a square.
There's no media queries to eliminate the square. There's no JS that affects the square-ness. It's all squares.
144 squares.
Yikes, I haven't thought anyone would venture there and see that monstrosity...
Well, now they're rectangles!
consider my offense revoked
Can someone clarify?
It’s tongue in cheek - the original site had squares not the advertised “rectangles” - even though a square is a type of rectangle most people consider rectangles to be the non-squares.
My 5-year-old knows that squares are a type of rectangle. Her kindergarten teacher corrected her when she said this during a shapes lesson and told her that rectangles always have two sides longer than the other.
We haven't bothered to correct the teacher, but used it as a lesson to say that even intelligent people aren't always correct about everything.
(She also had a preschool teacher that told her that blood is blue before it gets oxygen. This lesson is one that will be repeated throughout her life.)
