    just to add another layer of complexity, there's also specificity when multiple rules apply to the same object

    - Count the number of element names in the selector
    - Count the number of pseudo-classes and other non-ID attributes in the selector, and multiply by 10.
    - Count the number of ID attributes in the selector, and multiply by 100.
    - Add up all three numbers, and that is that property's specificity. higher numbers take precedence over lower
