Introduction to Web Accessibility: "Why Web Accessibility is Important" Paragraph 2, Sentence 2 reads: "Currently most Web sites are designed with accessibility barriers that create unnecessary difficulties for many people with disabilities or even prevent them from using the site at all." "... are designed with ... " seems to suggest that inaccessible design is a conscious decision (i.e. made by evil content providers) when we generally accept (don't we?) that much inaccessible design happens due to lack of awareness. How about: "Currently most Web sites have accessibility barriers that create unnecessary difficulties for many people with disabilities or even prevent them from using the site at all." This is simpler and less confrontational, in my mind. Cheers, Chuck Letourneau
