SC 3.1.4 Abbreviations

Back to Overview
00:00 --> 00:07
Abbrevations, also AAA, are a mechanism for identifying the expanded form or meaning of

00:07 --> 00:14
abbreviations is available. This is super important. Nobody knows what SC or WCAG is,

00:14 --> 00:21
so whenever you introduce those new concepts, new words, new abbreviations, you just have to make

00:21 --> 00:29
sure that everyone can get to them. I think having this as a AAA is a little bit high in

00:29 --> 00:39
maybe I think this might be a good AA success criterion. Especially if you keep to what most

00:39 --> 00:47
people do to meet this is that when they introduce the abbreviation for the first time, they also

00:47 --> 00:54
write what it means on the page, like in this example. So the article introduces, you know,

00:54 --> 00:59
the article introduces the web content accessibility guidelines in brackets WCAG.

00:59 --> 01:00
And then, you know, you can go from there.

01:01 --> 01:03
So that's an easy way.

01:03 --> 01:06
And like this should be the minimum you're doing.

01:07 --> 01:13
You can't just expect that people know what your abbreviations mean.
