But not in the familiar sense, where the modifier\'s own meaning is apparent in the sentence\'s context. In these three sentences, the modifiers look exactly the same; it\'s not until the reader interacts with the text by clicking on or rolling over the link that the modification starts to show its shy/sneaky little face. The modification is buried down a level (or more), and its meaning remains dormant until or unless the reader catalyzes a reaction by acting on the hyperlink. Because the adjectival function is once-removed, there\'s no guarantee that the reader will click, or that the reading will go beyond the sentence\'s &quot;original&quot; or &quot;neutral&quot; unmodified meaning---whatever that means. In the absence of the clarity provided by the click (the big adjectival reveal!), the reader will plug in whatever connotation of &quot;parade&quot; comes naturally, I suppose. <br><br>Which raises what was probably your question in the first place: If a word is hyperlinked but no one clicks it, was its meaning really changed? <br><br>Sweet puzzle." );
