I didn't know that. Thank you for the information. :) . > 8 #1) Colourblindness (8% of Caucasian Men) Jesus, really? Luckily, my sites tend to be monochrome, so I get trapdoored on this. . > 8 #2) Dyslexia I wouldn't even know where to begin making a website be dyslexia-sensitive. I don't know anyone affected and don't even know what's important there. Is there a resource about this? . > 9) The non-presence of ARIA does not make a site inaccessible. In a question about why we invest no effort in accessibility, it is germane to point out the level of effort you have placed into accessibility. And, respectfully, that markup. . > Unfortunately, you are presenting the opposite side of the problem. I'm just explaining why it isn't gotten right. . > So you have a little more knowledge about accessibility issues than the OP - but not enough to pass a quick scrutiny. Yeah, that was my point. My belief is that this limitation that you have correctly observed in me is the defacto case for nearly all web developers. I think it's just something most of us don't know. Like, write a poignant guide or a learn you some consideration or something. Give people something to read, rather than to point out that they haven't read anything, you know what I mean? . > Perhaps, what is needed is for you and I to stop being part of the problem of disseminating half-truths I don't believe that I have done this.

The world is full of a lot of hard, unfair choices, many of them outside my hands. I do my best to support as many people as I can within my time and budget constraints. Perhaps we disagree on the choices, however. . > Invest the time to teach someone else how to build accessible websites Yes, that was my point. Easy to say; too hard, apparently, for either of us to do. |
