Okay, you get a break. But seriously, the examples you saw weren't
representative of the majority. Most modern webpage font sizes are set
in percentages or ems using css if they are set at all. Novices may
tend to use pixels or points (-I did), part. often as a sop to IE, but
with some experience, one learns to allow for more flexibility.
