However, basically we are avoiding pointing to specific products to avoid link chasing and maintenance issues. All of the products that you list are referenced from at least one of the listings referenced from this doc. >> 3.

Accepted suggestion but addressed differently. >> 4.

Linked to the official YouTube page about captioning, which includes information about how to turn YouTube captions on. >> 5. In terms of sign language, I'm not sure what the right terminology >> is.

Can these two sentences be combined? >> >> There are a number of ergonomic or specialized keyboards to help you >> type more effectively >> and comfortably with less effort and strain. Ergonomic keyboards have >> special designs >> and key layouts to reduce strain or to help you type more effectively. Actually the sentence "Ergonomic keyboards ..." is related to the next one "Specialized keyboards ...", but have not been combined to reduce the complexity of the paragraph as a whole. To avoid repetition, the first sentence has been changed to: [[There are a number of ergonomic or specialized keyboards that can be used instead of the regular keyboard.]] >> 18.

For more clarity, both "Microsoft Word" and "Open Office Write" have been emphasized with quotations. >> 22.
