Am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that in CSS, "!important" doesn't mean "not important" ?

undefined

counter-intuitive

why can't they all mean the same thing

    I'm don't actually. Despite being a programmer, I read both the exclamation mark and the word as 'important' (think very important)

    Actually no, as CSS is not a programming language and shouldn't be treated as such, thus the exclamation mark in this case acts like someone shouting "Hey! I'm here and you must ignore everyone else!"

    Simple English.

    @bas1948 then it would be 'important!' Surely?
