And you have the living, breathing wonder pup too!

I did the same thing while reading AI translations in something I was to edit in English. The AI & LLM way of translating the same term or concept 3 or 4 different ways in the same paragraph made my head spin.

Oh, I think we have all done the grumbly entry. You can almost hear the sigh.

It was intentional, and when I find the passage again, I will take a photocopy and frame it. (I was reading the Slough Horses series from the library so don't have the novel on hand.)

There is passage in a novel by Mick Herron in which the main character explains "mansplaining" to his assistant slowly so she will get it. It is so spot-on for the character and hilariously awful that I still laugh thinking of it. I wish I'd flagged the page when I first read it.

Hi Christy, I know what you mean; the tech is changing fast; I'm checking with people I know using readers. I have not yet found specific guidances in the Euro standard for ICT (EN 301 549:2021, IDT) and the 2024 Canadian ICT standard that adopted EN 301 549; both refer to WCAG.

Great tip, Christy. The same concern is true for vertical lists. Some* screen readers don't pause at the end of each item in a bullet list. (I'm going to check on the current status because tech changes so fast.)

Thanks very much! It's good to get started in a new place beyond the bird. :)

And thanks to you, Jess. I'm in at @lauraedlund.bsky.social
