 * Hello everyone,
 * I’m using a child theme of twenty twelve. Latest WordPress version.
 * I noticed that for some stuff I would change in my child theme’s style.css, there
   would be no visible changes on the site. I for example wanted to remove the word-
   break in the sidebar widgets.
    So I added following code:
 *     ```
       .widget-area .widget {
       	word-wrap: normal;
       }
       ```
   
 * … to basically _override_ the word-wrap in the original twenty twelve theme. 
   It did nothing, so I tried this:
 *     ```
       .widget-area .widget {
          	word-break: keep-all;
       }
       ```
   
 * … which did nothing either, so I put this:
 *     ```
       .widget-area .widget {
       	word-wrap: normal;
          	word-break: keep-all;
       }
       ```
   
 * But I was out of luck. The words in the widgets were still broken.
 * I don’t understand why I don’t see any changes? Anyone have an idea?
 * Thanks!

 * I had to add this here apparently:
 *     ```
       -webkit-hyphens: none;
       	-moz-hyphens: none;
       	hyphens: none;
       }
       ```
