Hi! I've recently discussed using contractions in technical writing, mainly for user interfaces. There's science that supports increased readability when contractions are used: https://twitter.com/FriendlyAshley/status/1450180256694951945 Is there anything pointing to the opposite? Most technical-writing style guides say contractions should be used, especially when writing in a friendly voice. Modern screen-reading software must surely have no problems with contractions? Please let me know if there is any science out there that says contraction shouldn't be used for accessibility purposes. Thank you! Best regards, Niklas
