Yes, I'm aware of that, but to a beginner hearing simply: 'float
doesn't affect vertical, only left-right' is confusing, because then
they'll probably conclude
<div style = 'float:left'>1</div>
<div style = 'float:left'>2</div>
will go
1
2
In other words, someone who understands the statement 'float doesn't
affect vertical' is precisely the person who doesn't need help about
floats :-)
