Toot

Written by Jason J.G. White on 2024-09-28 at 20:55

Has anyone else who subscribes to certain mailing lists populated by screen reader users noticed all the elementary spelling mistakes that are pronounced perfectly by text to speech, but which are clearly evident to anyone reading visually or, in my case, with a Braille display? This is basic, primary and secondary school-level literacy education gone wrong. It should be of concern to educators, and it may be symptomatic of educational deficits that could limit employment opportunities. If i were an employer, I would be reluctant to choose someone who couldn't write English correctly, especially if doing so were a job requirement, as it often is.

It's time to stop people from falling through the system without acquiring basic literacy skills.
