And yet there was tremendous out cry when we asked about removing hyphens
between capital letters of words spelled out like F-F-F-R-O-G-G-G-Y-Y-Y?
That isn't readable or listenable to a dyslexic or child with disability
either...

I don't see why we should leave it in mixed case if it makes it difficult to
read. I don't see how it's any different than other stuff we do to make
navigation or reading easier, such as putting the word "Chapter" in, or those
three dots between the title and page number in a table of contents to help
those with dyslexia distinguish the page numbers. We're not changing the
actual
content of the text after all.
