   TIP (#13 OF 40) :  When you or I click or tap here, I want the change to be instant, so my simple coding makes each page change take about 0.25–0.50 seconds. Each of these pages is underlyingly nothing but ASCII characters, i.e., plain text, including the HTML coding, the CSS, and the many symbols whose underlying representations are hand-typed HTML entities, e.g., "RightArrow", or hexadecimal Unicode, e.g., "#x0294".

   THE PERSONAL GLOSSARY OF JON PAUL SANK   
    In order to understand linguistics conference talks, I began in the mid-2000s to collect linguistics terms for a glossary or dictionary of my own. Wanting a useful conference companion and having decided also to share it, I aimed my design at lightning-fast page loading, common-sense navigation, easy scrolling, and universal compatibility. Pages would be small, simple, and display-responsive. Nowadays, this research-relevant lexicon is more professional-looking, much richer with terms, and more able to render linguistics notations, even while it remains simple and nimble.
