Pathoschild's definitions

specificity

A CSS rule that states that in case of conflict, the properties of the most specific selector is applied.

For example: if we make all tables bold, but make all table cells have a normal weight, the latter rule will be applied. This is because "table cell" is more specific than "table".

"That text is way too small. You should change the formatting to make the page more readable."
