Even as someone who never mucks around with code, I have noticed when a graphic is used instead of text either due to the above sizing problems or because it's surrounded by white instead of my preferred off-white background. It can be quite jarring and occasionally unreadable unless enlarged using the app's picture viewer.

My current least favorite word mix-up is writing 'weary' instead of 'wary'. It's particularly annoying because it's not always an obvious error (why is the character weary of ambushes? Oh, they are tired of ambushes because this would be a good place for one .... did the author mean wary?)
