    `widows` is the plural form of the noun `widow` which refers to a married woman whose husband has died.

    The `widows` property was first introduced in the W3C's CSS spec version number--WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?

    Maybe it's the hood version of your operating system letting itself be known...

    Every. Damn. Time. I fixed it in the completion code once, then it updated and reverted.

    The widows property specifies the minimum number of lines in a block container that must be left at the top of a page.

    @tisaconundrum Thanks, I knew what it did but I've never used it so couldn't define it without looking it up. #lazydev

    Guys... You are missing my point. I don't care what widows actually is 'cause I NEVER have needed it probably never will in the future either. BUT width is one of the most used rules so why on earth would 'wid' auto complete to 'widows' ???

    @olpe Because of the alphabet.

    @kevbost and the fact they don't use a weighted search algorithm like they should (and it's so easy to do here!)
