I once fixed a misspelling in a codebase without realizing that the name was coming from an external API's response so my correction broke everything. Misspellings that you can't fix are very frustrating.

@yechielk At least that's just in one app and not the Referer header supported in every web browser and server in the world.

Yes! Someone pointed out the referer header to me once, and I instantly felt better for the poor developer who created that
referalls
table...are we sure they didnβt mean βrefer allβs intentionally? you know, all of the refered people. or referred?
