Some of these replies are really painful to read, yikes
half of the things that break in your examples aren't really broken ):
This is what it reads like. You'll notice how old it gets sort of quickly. :/
Jesus, I really can't think of any good example of this, though. It happens to me all the time at work, though with web design. ):
Yesterday, I was working on a few additional touch-ups for one of our clients (which is, in a humorous turn of events, is my former employer) and there was a request to add an additional sidebar widget for users to click on. So I make it really simple and so I can halfassedly add additional properties to it, I put it in a <span> block. Adjusting the font color worked. Adding the font size worked. Hell, even the height between each line of text worked. But for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the block of text wouldn't properly align to the center (the text was fine, but it was off-center) Puzzled as heck, I asked my boss. "What about a <div>?" he said. I felt like a moron as I trudged back to my desk and replaced the "span" with "div" and lo and behold, it worked.
Of course, now the widget above it, which was aligned just fine before (because there was nothing under it) was misaligned. Now I had to fix that.
Dammit.
It's a relatively small issue in the scheme of fixing things, I know. Whatever, man ):
