2,233 PointsOffsets affecting all screen sizes
Does anyone happen to know why when I set an offset for a column at a specific screen size (breakpoint) it immediately affects the other breakpoints or screen sizes of my layout? The only way I managed to fix this issue was by specifying offset-0 for all of the other screen sizes that I don't want to have an offset, but the div ends up bloated with a bunch of classes. Why does this happen? isn't something like col-md-offset-3 supposed to be informing the browser to that at that screen size (not another) the column must have an offset of 3 columns? What am I missing here? Thanks in advance!

Grid classes apply to devices with screen widths greater than or equal to the breakpoint sizes, and override grid classes targeted at smaller devices. Therefore, e.g. applying any .col-md-5 class to an element will not only affect its styling on medium devices but also on large devices if a .col-lg-5 class is not present.
Basically the class affects whichever screen size you're targeting and all screen sizes that are larger.
