Well, one of my pet peeves (extreme dislike, would be better) is type that is so light that it is nearly impossible to read without severe eyestrain! What is the fascination with very light type??? And my wife agree’s with me on this point too. We both spend a lot of time online, and hate, ABSOLUTELY HATE, this apparent ‘rule’ that copy must be barely visible! There is no reason to have ANY copy at all, if it can’t be read easily. And, since the emphasis on Web design today is all about “user experience” (rather than conveying information effectively), it seems ironic that the contrast between the copy and background is completely ignored.
