Nick was referring to you use of 'butterfiles'. Butterflies is also a common phrase in Aus. Glad to hear the presentation went over well, I was keen to hear what the response would be like. I wish more teachers were passionate about web standards. After almost two yrs of promoting the use of CSS for layout to a local web design teacher (without much success), an introduction to W3C standards was introduced into the curriculum, which gave me the chance to quote W3C regarding the use of tables for layout. It was well received, to the extent he emailed other teachers in the faculty, stating his previous methods of design was not the best/right way, encouraging them all to learn about the W3C standards, only one of five teachers responded (I not a web design student just a friend) I'm not saying I would be a better person for the job, but that education is extremely important, teaching these fundamental techniques right from the start deserves all the praise it can get.
