I present these three screenshots.
These originate from the iPhone game KERN, which is kinda fun to play. It’s a speed/timing game that possibly draws more on your eye+hand coordination than it does actual kerning letters but it’s still fun to play. And the game looks great too, obvy built with a designer’s eye.
There was a grammatical typo in the Rules page (1), for which the update was issued. The update (2) says “Fixes an errant apostrophe which caused a fair amount or (sic) typographical embarrassment for our designer. Please accept this upgrade as our apology.” First of all, don’t apologize for having a typo in a sentence where there is a typo. Second, back to the point: as you can see in (3), the apostrophe from “it’s” in line two has been removed to its correct spelling, “its”, after the update. But a typographical problem still remains. Can you spot it in (3)?
