And you apparently failed to understand it, since by Usenet conventions,
lack of comprehensive reading is indicated by the use of comprehensive

That was foolish. Check your English dictionary, and you will get (not
inherit) some understanding in this matter.

When you use words that are CSS terms in a specifically CSS context, you
should use them in their CSS meanings.

If you meant "get", surely "get" would have been clearer than "inherit". The
truth is that you tried to use CSS jargon and failed.
