>The word "accessibility" is incredibly inaccessible to non-native speakers
There are at least a dozen languages where the English word "accessibility" translates to the same word spelled slightly differently.
- hnbad 5y agoI'm not sure what your point is. I qualified my claim very explicitly and what you said doesn't contradict any of it. I'm not saying it's difficult to understand. I'm saying it's an unwieldy word and "a11y" is easier to remember and write correctly.
- oalae5niMiel7qu 5y agoYou specifically called it out as being "inaccessible" (ie, difficult to understand) to non-native speakers (of English). Also, "a11y" looks too much like the English word "ally". That, IMO, is more likely to cause reading difficulties, particularly with non-native speakers and people with dyslexia.
