 ### Why is it called a *shiv*?
 
-The term shiv originates from [John Resig](https://github.com/jeresig), who used the term for its slang meaning, *a sharp object used as a knife-like weapon*, intended for Internet Explorer. Now, there's a small chance that John was having [an etymological seizure](https://www.google.com/search?q=etymological+seizure), and that he actually intended to use the word [shim](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shim_(computing\)), which, in computing means *an application compatibility workaround*. As reasonable as the later explanation may seem, [John is actually a well known homie](http://html5homi.es). 
+The term **shiv** [originates](http://ejohn.org/blog/html5-shiv/) from [John Resig](https://github.com/jeresig), who was thought to have used the word for its slang meaning, *a sharp object used as a knife-like weapon*, intended for Internet Explorer. Truth be known, John probably intended to use the word [shim](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shim_(computing\)), which in computing means *an application compatibility workaround*. Rather than correct his mispelling, most developers familiar with Internet Explorer appreciated the visual imagery. And that, [kids](http://html5homi.es/), is [etymology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology).
