WBR Tag+ points

I dont get what a WBR tag is useful for. Despite the description i will provide after this sentance, I dont really see a situation where a "word is too long.."..

Like, when can a word be so long that it gets interfered with? And why does the length make it be interfered with? Here is description of WBR..

Definition and Usage The <wbr> (Word Break Opportunity) tag specifies where in a text it would be ok to add a line-break.

Tip: When a word is too long, or you are afraid that the browser will break your lines at the wrong place, you can use the <wbr> element to add word break opportunities.

QUESTION 2 Why should i get points by completing quizzes? I would rather skip them. Whats my incentive? Besides "its good to review"

Hi Elliot,

A word can certainly be too long. If for example you have a column that is a specific width and you insert a really long word, this word will just continue off outside the column looking very bad.

Points are a major incentive in Treehouse. You can earn them in different ways, ie by finishing a quiz, watching a video, commenting in the forum etc.
