Hi,
The problem with 'RTFM' is that too many manuals are written in such technical
jargon, that if Groucho Marx were alive, he'd say: "A child of five could
understand this. Someone fetch me a child of five". Worse than that, though, I
recently bought an item and encountered the worst possible instance of an
inaccessible instruction manual. They'd saved themselves the bother of writing
versions in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese and whatever. Instead,
the instruction manual consisted of nothing but pictures of people performing
the actions - essensially, a 'silent manual'.
Best,
Clive

Accessibility is also usability. If a box is accessible from the outset, it
makes products accessible to people with poor sight, or none. For example,
good contrast, scalable fonts, plus a screenreader of sorts on a sky box would
aid sighted and blind. Also accessibility is aided by making menus clear
through good wording of options and clean interfaces which sign post people to
how to use the product, without having to consult reams of manuals to do the
simplest thing.

Hi: I'm relatively new to this world, could you please expand on why
accessibility helps everyone? Is it an argument that could be used elsewhere?
Thanks.
