+### Why don't you highlight URLs you dinosaur?
+
+Because I think it's kinda deceiving. It's one thing to highlight a
+word that leads to a place, since the user doesn't have expectation of
+where it's going to lead, they'll tend to hover to see where it's going.
+A full URL looks like it's going exactly where it's going. A user won't
+think twice about clicking on
+[https://facebook.com/](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).
+They will if they see
+[totally not a virus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ). If
+you're giving out the full URL anyway why bother linking it? Every
+browser in the world has double-click (or long-press) to highlight the
+URL automatically, then right-click, and open in new tab.
