I'm sure many of us have are concerned about the lack of solid user research to help apply WCAG guidelines in the most usable way. And I share Charles' surprise about the reaction to pronunciation issues mentioned in the summary of some of Ginny Redish's studies. I'd have though most people reading this list would have some experience of screen readers, even if only the evaluation version of HPR or through observing other folks using them. "Skip to content (happy)" has always been an annoyance, along with "hommaparj" (so I always avoid writing it as one word). But I like the way JAWS pronounces my stupid university system username "dalexand" - humans at work refer to it as "dee alexand (emphasis on the second syllable)", whereas it sounds like the name of one of santa's reindeers when JAWS says it. Or maybe I have a gin too many already today :) Cheers, Dey (pronounced Dee, not Day - humans AND JAWS usually get this one wrong)
