So what's weird here, or good actually, empowering almost, is that if you're using HTML to "bold" your phrases the command is "strong." It's like the thing they do in camp/retreats/empowering meetings, almost, you know: have someone raise their arms and then they say 10 good things bout themselves and someone else tries to lower their arms but can't? Then you have them say 10 lame things about themselves and their arms are weaker than a 4 yr old's? Except this doesn't have the lame bit.
