No you can't. If parts of the styles aren't loading, then it's a bug, but a different bug. It's not FOUC. FOUC means all the styles don't load for a second, in IE6 and lower, and it's caused by an @import in the head, and fixed with the addition of a link or script in the head. That's it. There are many, many other bugs that show flashing styles or partially rendered styles, in different combinations of browsers, but these are all separate things that deserve their own names and have their own fixes. If we start calling them all FOUC, we're just confusing the matter, because the FOUC fixes won't work for them. Thanks, Zoe -- Zoe M.
