@davidmacd With all of the photos I'm seeing from #A11yTo without alt text I'm guessing not.

Don't mean to be a pedantic colorblind geeky turd, but I did mention #FFFF00 as the color of that mustard. https://t.co/CCslOa0lKR

Dinner talk at @CaplanskysDeli is now centered around the LANG attribute! Go ahead, see if you can top that! #a11yto

@aardrian Interesting slide deck! I never thought we could say that much about the lang attribute. Nice research putting all of it together. #a11yTO
