Dark,
It's still very annoying. at least I find it so. When you read a book, you
don't see the author getting their point across by putting tons of
exclamations all over the place do you? I've never seen anyone do that so
excessively. as to your Super Liam example. putting that exclamation point
there isn't necessary. I think as intelligent human beings we can arrive at
these conclusions without such emphasis on specific words. they only serve
to irritate the reader, and probably cause people to take you less
seriously. feels like you're trying to shove your ideals down our throats
hahaha.

Yohandi, I use exclamations to emphasize words, not to shout or irritate.
For instance suppose someone claimed that Superliam was a 3D game because
several levels take place on elivated locations such as a volcano.
I would want to answer something like
"that! is not how 3D works, it doesn't make a difference what the setting
is, it's to do with the dimentions of the game ---- etc"
See my point?
There really should be a method of emphasis in text which is similar to
the verbal emphasis i would use in making such a sentence, but the only
one I have is the exclamation mark.
i always tend to try to write just as I would speak, hence why I use it
this way. Hope that makes sense, and while I'm sorry it irritates you, I
can't unfortunately think of another method of doing it in text, ---- much
less one which would be compatible with screen readers.
Beware the grue!
(who deffinately needs an exclamation mark just for being extremely
Gruelling!).
Dark.

Dark,
I've been watching this discussion with interest, and I agree with both
sides here. however I once again would like to point out your excessive
use of exclamation points where they do not belong is quite annoying. you
don't need to emphasize everything with an exclamation point. all this
does is make me lose interest in your post and want to delete it. Which
is a shame, as your posts are always very informative.

Clement for that matter I agree.
Just because a thing is not accessible and takes more effort to do
doesn't equate to "don't do that thing"
To take a very simple example, walking around, mobility and , learning a
route is far more difficult than what a sighted person has to do. in
that sense it is not "aaccessible"
Does that mean you shouldn't do it? ---- hell no!
It does however mean that society should bloody well make your life
easier, putting in bleeping crossings, tactile pavements, audio
announcements etc. If tthese sorts of adaptations aren't! present, ----
well you'll live without them, just with a lot more trouble.
That is in fact why "accessible" based on effort is such a useful
concept.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Sorry for the double post. Dark, I'm actually pretty fascinated with
this discussion... you're raising points that I've never thought about.
But would you believe me if I said that this just makes me want to get
more blind people into mainstream games? lol
