old complaints
still remember things from whole yinglet nonsense …
one of points kossai make ?
people should , at least , not make broad , for-public informational posts with substitution quirks . if really feel that important to absolutely need use , then should at least also post alternate version without that quirk .
and someone try to misrepresent this as demand of write every post twice over , as something mean and unfair .
just ... find that ridiculous . stretch until make something to complain about .
so many people in that whole thing try to come up with ways that everyone else should change , but without seem to recognise situations where those would not work , or would not even be feasible to start with .
for one example : how would screenreader user change pronunciation of yinglet word , if screenreader can not render in way which even resemble original word ? TTS renders of wrongly spell words vary from mild accent to absolute nonsense - know from experience .
and not all screenreader or other TTS software offer ability to change , either - shitty , unfortunate truth .
but at that point people think excuses excuses . say " so easy " to work around , but need to still put effort in so people can use those tools - and still need to understand where certain methods weak or outright fail . not just write off as " cop behaviour " like this is not cruel thing to say .

and again , kossai is familiar with this because of AAC use - many yinglet words do not have pronunciation where can figure out original word . sometimes primary vowel change !
if one struggle to see these words , and audio is not helpful , then ... how will that person know what word is meant ? why make life more frustrate because will not put one singular tag .
obligatory , of course , AAC is not screenreader , but bring this up to demonstrate different software in general have different TTS systems and will render things differently .
and pronunciations can be really awkward and difficult to program . know certainly is for AAC which use - sometimes have to adjust even correct words .
