HTML
Digital Stickle Bricks
You know HTML. I know HTML. And now you know I know HTML.
It's like the bedrock of the internet. Sure, it's taken for granted but... is it done right? Messing up your markup still breaks websites, it still knackers your Javascript and it still makes you look silly - even if we don't all proudly display our XHTML compliance badges any more.
In fact, you might not even notice that your markup is sufficiently broken to confuse screen reader software - and partially sighted people are completely unable to consume your delicious content.
Think on.
I've been using HTML since May 2007 (18 years).
