Describe the issue

I use a <abbr title="...">...</abbr> abbreviation in text.

This is good because it provides context for YTD and other terms that not everybody knows.

Now, because in 2023 every human-computer interaction that takes more than 10ms is broken, and because browsers typically take 1,000ms to show that abbreviation title, I use BS tooltips to show this abbreviation.

In this scenario, the tooltip will properly show on mouse-over. But now it is hiding the dotted underline styling that makes this feature discoverable.
