[thelist] Breadcrumb the real technical terminolgy that confuses English Speakers

> Where does the term "breadcrumb" come from?

yeah, hansel and gretel

but, if you recall, it didn't help them

it's a very poor term for web sites, because it's usually *not* a trail
of where you've been in the forest, er, web site

if you want to see how you got to where you are, the Back button of
your browser has that

unfortunately, many web sites use Title text which does not effectively
show the contents of their pages

for example, if their Title text starts with their company name,
followed by the name of the page, then when you pull down the Back
button, you'll see something like this --

  Big Self-Important Corporation -- Cr
  Big Self-Important Corporation -- Wh
  Big Self-Important Corporation -- De
  Big Self-Important Corporation -- Ma
  Big Self-Important Corporation -- St
  Big Self-Important Corporation -- Ab
  Big Self-Important Corporation -- Re

<tip type="usability">
if you want to put site hierarchy into Title tags,
please use minor-to-major sequence
</tip>
