Okay, I took a typing class in high school not a typography class. Reading this stuff, aside from hurting my brain, makes me wonder about the evolution of language from spoken to written to printed. I think essentially that the web and all words on computer are printed, just electronically and not with paper. Things is all these extra characters are for very specific uses and it makes me wonder who's job it is. As a potential web developer whoever contracts me to build a site would give me the content, right? I'm not an editor, I just make it look pretty. Does that mean I think I shouldn't learn this stuff? Well no. Aside from some people touting "this is how it should be," why should I care? Does a reader program misread things aloud because of this? I don't know, does anyone else? Because if it does, then I'll care. But I don't actually recall any of those articles mentioning that.

Hey,
what do you mean by a reader program?

By reader program I mean one that reads the text out loud. It's used for the visually impaired so they can navigate the web as well.
