Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08), (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. - wolf 22:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Screenreaders and "e.g."
editHello. In reference to this edit, it seems to me that screenreaders should be able to read "e.g." as well as any other abbreviation, no? Largoplazo (talk) 12:15, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- You would hope so, though that may not always be the case. Have a look at https://insidegovuk.blog.gov.uk/2016/07/20/changes-to-the-style-guide-no-more-eg-and-ie-etc/
- In the context of the edit I made, using "for example" instead of "e.g." improves the way the paragraph reads as well. Mikepyne (talk) 08:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- The blog points out that the problem is with "eg" and "ie" (which I've never seen without periods anyway), and then says "And while ‘e.g.’ gets read correctly by screen readers, ...".
- I don't disagree with other arguments for replacing "e.g." with "for example", but, FYI, screenreaders aren't a reason! Largoplazo (talk) 10:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
