Close; it is the full font-metrics, in this case the intrinsic kerning for the 
given font.

letter-spacing: -.05em works here for the bottom span, at the price of pulling 
each of the 3 letters closer to each other. But that “fix” might be browser and 
platform dependent, and is dependent on the font & font-size as well.

A more stable fix is using a small negative margin-right (something like 
-.1em). But again, this is dependent on platform, browser and font-metrics.

Nope, nothing to do with div vs span vs em vs whatever. You’d have the exact 
same problem with a div. As noted above, it is the metrics of the given font.
