Lets say I was a Home Designer or Architect .......

So I have been going along and designing things thinking


 * 1 Foot = 12 Inches

because that's the way it has always been. That's the base we all knew and used.

But today I come in and all my design work has suddenly a new base and now

and
 * 1 Foot = 12 inches for some
 * 1 Foot = 36 Inches for others

All my designs are now broken.

A DIFFERENT ANALOGY :

My site looked like a Novel but now looks like a Dr. Suess book.

I don't even have a widescreen monitor my main one is only 1600 x 1200 and my site looks like SH*T on it.

My 2nd monitor is 1280 x 1024 and it looks ok there - somewhat. These changes have also change the text on that size monitor.

Now normal text looks BOLD and bold text looks SUPER BOLD.

I'm lost and confused.
