[–] nitroll 6y ago ↗ Yeah, because it's not like we don't appropriate words all over the place anyway, and reuse words for all kinds of similar and dissimilar purposes.Using "breakpoints" to describe the /points/ where the layout /breaks/ over is not a new term and quite well understood when talking design / layout.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/CSS_layou...https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp
