Day Seventy, June Nineth

Websites with horizontal scrolling. This is an awful feature that luckily, is getting less common. It's loss of popularity does not mean that it is okay. It is still incredibly annoying. To be fair, often it is not entirely the website's fault, as it was not designed for a screen as small as yours. Websites should be somewhat responsible for any size of screen though. Scroll wheels are not designed to go sideways, and sculling horizontally adds another element to reading a website which is annoying and confusing. On computers, it is definitely less common, but on phones, almost every website will require zooming in and scrolling in all directions unless it is mobile friendly.
