But you should include the Crown > Dependencies, 573 + 194 km2. First, I should apologize for a bit of deception on my part. I checked Wikipedia first, and I confused square miles for km2. I originally thought that Lake Superior had more surface area than England, Scotland, and Wales combined. Gene pointed out that I had made an error, but instead of admitting it, I used a lack of specificity in my original statement to support it anyway. The point I was trying to make is that English is the "Lingua Franca" for global technical treatise, and that the "proper" way to use it in this venue is to keep the grammar simple and avoid idioms. I do enjoy your manner of speaking, because it reminds me of several of my favourite college professors who hailed from the UK. When I read your postings, I can almost hear the accent. -- http://pages.videotron.ca/duffym/index.htm

Therefore the English language is the language spoken in England. There are minor differences between regions. What's spoken by many people in North America is the language of England, again with some differences. And government-sponsored differences in spelling. John -- John Harris

Like say:
You are about to cancel the report.
OK Cancel
Oops!
A similar problem happened on a non-Web system called Andrew.
Andrew would ask for confirmation on actions which could have nasty
consequences. The choices were "Continue" to continue the action and
"Quit" to quit (cancel) the action. One of the actions that required
confirmation was quitting Andrew. The prompt would have been
something like
Really quit Andrew?
Continue Quit
The intention was that continue means to continue quitting and
quit means to quit quitting, but it is also sensible to read it as
continue with Andrew and to quit Andrew.
Many of us would like something more flexible so as to avoid such
awkwardness.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko

Not really. A div is either displayed or hidden. In css you would use:
.tooltip { display: none; width: ..... }
.tooltip:hover {display: block }
If for popup divs you can look at the code at:
