Re: Rewrites

Joe Clark has said:
"Illustration, writing, video, and sound are examples of modes of
expression."

I differ: they are expression medium (media), non modes.
And he has also said:
"Sound isn't an illustration"

I don't agree, the sound can be good to illustrate, to decorate, to
describe, etc.

Several expression "modes" can be used with each one of the expression
"medium" and each one of them can be good to express, to demonstrate, to
describe, to illustrate or to decorate.

simple English words were the source not Anne Pemberton, who pretty much has
this group by the gonads. She seems to be shouting the loudest, and everyone
else is afraid to stand up to this extremist. Unable to accept a fair
compromise of adding graphics, illustrations, sound, and video *whenever
possible*, her goal is the absolute eradication of text-only sites from the
Web in the putative guise of accessibility, an overarching, crypto-fascist
goal we must oppose at every turn.
