Punctuation or Spelling Incorrect

Short Description

Spelling or punctuation errors create confusion

A screen reader pronounces words according to standard pronunciation rules and changes inflection according to punctuation. A user learns to expect it to sound certain ways, so it can be disorienting to have incorrect spelling or punctuation lead to unusual pronunciation or inflection.
Braille is often not written out letter by letter, so, for example, the word "little" on a refreshable braille display looks completely different than the word "littel".

Check spelling and punctuation.
Only use non-standard spelling or punctuation when there is a specific and important reason.
