You can't fix something that ain't broken,so <B> will do fine.Even if you use <strong> it displays the same and if you can't see the difference what's the point.

yes but it's not the same for screen readers. you should use strong when you need to

Strong is better than B because if you want your text to have structural tagging/markup and the CSS handles the look and layout based on the tagging. So B is just for makes it bold. Using strong tag your CSS sheet can be changed how it looks in simple ways throughout the document. So you can change your layout and look for a whole site just by editing the strong definition your CSS.

I personally think it is each one's preference

i use <strong> tag for my designs. I thing search engines evaluate this as important stuff.

And after alllll that -- it comes down to SEMANTICS!

No, they do not.

If you want to be a semantic developer, use strong.
Its not that much more to type. Why not just use strong.. Seriously.
