Ik vind de punt 3 erg prettig; hoofdletters in lange hekje woorden.
Eigenlijk ale punten vind ik prettig om er als optie bij te hebben.
Het maakt het voor iedereen beter, dus lees allemaal de 9 punten en probeer er een beetje aan te denken.
Extra als je de info in een afbeelding plaatst.
punten 6,7 en 8 zijn meer persoonlijke voorkeuren van me,
punt 6: hoofdletters vind ik schreeuwerig, dus geen hele zinnen.

punt 7: ik vind het prettig om tags en hekjes in de tekst te verwerken omdat de context dan duidelijk is maar ik zal gaan experimenteren met die allemaal onderaan zetten, misschien is dat prettiger
punt 8: AI vind ik altijd irritant geeft me af en toe een vaag 'er klopt hier iets niet gevoel' terwijl het me dan niet duidelijk is waarom de persoon niet zelf de tekst schrijft of goed naleest om het vreemde taalgebruik er uit te halen.

Das ist bitter und traurig.

Bei unserer Grundschule in Berg am Laim gab es "neben" sehr engagierten Lehrkräften auch kleinere Maximal-Klassengrössen wegen hoher "Migrationsquote" (viele Elternteile, deren Muttersprache nicht Deutsch ist).

Von dieser wirklich guten Schule (und den nicht zu grossen Klassen) hat auch mein Kind sehr profitiert.

Am Gymnasium im Nachbarstadtteil hat München teilweise geteilte Deutschklassen u.ä. gesponsert ... auch gut für mein Kind.

When my mobile data plan runs out of gigabytes, I still get connection, but throttled to 128KB/sec, which really makes me appreciate:

* the difference between lean-and-mean webpages and modern monsters
* the alt texts TOO MANY OF YOU FORGET TO ATTACH TO YOUR MEDIA

Remember the #curbCutEffect#accessibility isn't only for the disabled.

Wheelchairs and the world:

Imagine if this course were expanded as a mandatory course for all University and TAFE courses in Architecture, construction, civil engineering, Urban planning and property management.

How this wheelchair skills course is allowing WA 'wheelers' to conquer their fears

When Melinda Rea got her first wheelchair, no one showed her how to use it and she ended up almost tipping out onto her steep driveway. Now a skills workshop has given her the confidence to get over her fears.

ABC News
> .. a magnificent.. unexpected thing happened.. the wall of exclusion came down, everybody benefited—not only people in #wheelchairs. Parents pushing #strollers headed.. for curb cuts. So did #workers pushing heavy carts, business travelers wheeling #luggage, even runners and skateboarders. A study of #PedestrianBehavior at a Sarasota, Fla., shopping mall revealed that nine out of 10 “unencumbered pedestrians” go out of their way to use a #CurbCut.

The Curb-Cut Effect (SSIR)

Laws and programs designed to benefit vulnerable groups, such as the disabled or people of color, often end up benefiting all of society.

However, Germany isn't relevant here, since the artist is in the U.K., and is referencing U.S. studies (one done in Florida) and using the U.S. spelling "curb".

In the U.K., where the artist lives and works, it is illegal to cycle on the footway, irrespective of age.

The U.S., where the studies were done and Angela Glover Blackwell works, is not Germany either.
