Your daily frequent11y newsletter, brought to you by @ChrisBAshton:
- Eric Bailey provides a comprehensive summary of why the term ‘a11y’ is useful, to address the common ironic adage “the term ‘a11y’ is itself inaccessible”. It is easier to type and to say, it allows more room for content inside tweets, and, crucially, it is more specific than ‘accessibility’ as it pertains to digital accessibility rather than something physical like wheelchair ramps for libraries. It is no different than using terms like i18n, 3D or WWII, and to suggest it is a problem is arguably a sign of ableism.
