I just realized that href stands for hyper reference.

Thank you, really

Two years of HTML and I never wondered this.
Why?

@Scooter Hyper Hyper

@Forside Now it's a Hyper Hyper-Reference

@BennySama hhref sounds way better indeed.

Thank you!

What about <a>? Does anybody know what it stands for?

@Gnu-Not-Unix anchor

@Forside what does an anchor have to do with hyperlinks?

@Gnu-Not-Unix You can give <a> tags a name and putting #name-of-a-tag onto the end of the url will automatically scroll you to that anchor. So it's a fixed position on the page where you can navigate to. Don't know the history behind this also being used for links. Probably because it's also a method for navigating to another location.

@Gnu-Not-Unix Guess it was intended to be both, an anchor on the page where you can navigate to and a method to navigate to those anchors, on the same page or another.

I thought it's How to Remove the Event? Fuck!

I always read it ( Achref ) thinking that ref stands for refer which is more logic in my my mind.

I know you come with your rant to tell my my to change this, and replace what I was thinking is ( REFER ) is actually ( REFERENCE )

It's just like trying to give a CONST a new value

Your realisation is correct.

Cheers
