I really dislike "Take Something Literally". First, some puzzles don't work on Mac (caps lock, wheel and a few others), what's mentioned nowhere. And second, it feels more like the author is trying to be a smart ass, than like it's a fun experience.

Yes, some of those were just annoying. There were a few that I couldn't solve.

Some of the puzzles have alternate solutions if you don't have a microphone or mousewheel or whatever.

For example:

Ba gur yriry jurer lbh'er fhccbfrq gb oybj vagb gur zvpebcubar, na nygreangr fbyhgvba vf gb glcr "oybj" ba gur xrlobneq.
