Spent an hour last week fixing a typo in my CSS class name.

I was working on a little personal project, just a simple website for my garden club. Could not figure out why my footer styles weren't showing up. Checked everything, the link, the syntax, even restarted my browser. Finally, after what felt like forever, I noticed I typed "footter" instead of "footer" in my stylesheet. One letter off. Has anyone else spent way too long hunting down something that small?

Oh man, I once wasted a whole afternoon chasing down a bug that turned out to be me writing "margn" instead of "margin." Stared at it for like three hours before a friend walked by and pointed it out. The humble typo... it'll humble you real quick.

And then you feel so dumb when it's finally fixed...
