Low vision problems:

You know how they say you see what you expect to be there..

Well it happens with hearing too.

Listening to my screen reader read out a cuple of book titles led me to have the wrong expectation from the novels.

It turns out that in the book: The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There, there are no Rebels (As in revolutionaries). There are Revels there, (As in extravagant parties).

In the book: The Traitor Baru Cormorant, Baru who is an accountant, doesn't use her skills to become a Trader (As in dealer in goods). She becomes a Traitor, (As in a revolutionary).

It's not that Baru's revolution doesn't have a strong financial component, it's just that I kept expecting trade to become a major part of the plot.

||Which in and of itself isn't an issue, but since we learned to read, write and edit visually, trying mentally to make sense of the spacial relations of textual elements without direct visual feedback has been exceedingly difficult.
