 * it depends where you have added/edited your posted style.
 * for instance, there is an existent style for `.nav a:hover` in grey.css (apart
   from many other styles for `.nav a`):
 *     ```
       .nav li:hover, .nav li.sfHover,
       .nav a:focus, .nav a:hover, .nav a:active {
       	background:		red#F4F4F4;
       	outline:		0;
       }
       ```
   
 * styles that occur later, further down, in stylesheets will have priority.
