Reload, not refresh
<rant>
Here’s some nomenclature for ya: When you load a page, the page loads (it does not fresh). Then, after that, if you want to load it again, you reload the page. There is no “refresh”.
You don’t “fresh” a page, and then “refresh” it. You load the page, then reload it. “Refresh” is what you do in the shower after a workout. Like, “Dang! You better get in that there shower with a whole lotta soap and refresh yourself!”
This “fresh a page” idea came from Microsoft and their “Internet Explorer” web browser. Maybe they were trying to be different. Who knows what they were thinking.
Anyway, if you hit Ctrl-R, you’ll be reloading the page, not refreshening anything.
