Hi all,
Original message:
Hi,
Does anyone else's screen reader read these characters as less than
and greater than? Does anyone know why?
Yep, you've run smack up against a Britishism, Mayrie. We Americans
call these things the less-than and greater-than signs. In England,
they're angle brackets. Reminds me of my time in India when dictating
for typing drill. I had to make a conscious effort to say "full stop"
not period. All my students looked at me funny when I said period.
Since your screen reader probably has an American synthe, you're
getting less-than and greater-than, not left and right angle bracket.
Switch over to Jane or whatever the British voice's name is and try it
then. I think you'll notice a difference.
Ann P.
