Bad kerning and leading makes me nuts!

I'm not kidding when I say I'm a typography buff.  When I design something, most is done in a hurry for the school yearbook.  But at least I still TRY to do all my letter and leading spacing correctly for the intention of the design.

When I see logos and websites with horrible kerning and leading, it just makes me cringe.  For instance, in this post, will I bother to edit for leading?  No.  Did I mess with the leading and kerning in my banner up top? Yes.

I was just surfing the other day and saw some truly horrible examples.  Next time I'll have to take some screen shots of good and bad examples, and of course give credit where credit is due.  I'll have to look up the legal stuff on that.
