A great example of how much thought has gone into this can be seen with this paragraph: "Avoid giving directions like ‘none of the above’, as this implies a visual reference that may not be relevant for users of screen-reading software. Instead, use ‘none of these’ or similar."
That's not something I would have thought of straight away, and it's a great reminder of how important accessibility is.
- bgro 5y agoEveryone remembers the smartass tests in school with the directions that say to sign your name and then hand in the test... Or some other form of smartassery where you must pick the MOST correct answer which has some stupid theoretical technicality that somehow invalidates all other answers as 100% wrong no partial credit. I remember endless multiple choice tests where the correct answer was "All of the above" but it was located below "None of the above" Or the first answer would be "All of the above," but as item[0], it has nothing above to select. Or "None of the above," which is always correct by default if it's the first item in the list. I was never allowed to argue these were correct when it applied to me, though.
