This is just a small note -- but I was recently embarrassed by putting a typo up on a final version of a critical web page for a client.

I intended to use — but I left off the final semicolon. I never noticed it because Firefox and Opera both autocorrected and showed the m-dash glyph, and after checking the page template in IE, I never thought to proofread the text in many browsers.

I honestly wish that browsers would NOT auto-correct. That was the direction IE took with all kinds of html errors that eventually gave us tag soup. If I make a mistake, let me see it!
