> partially sighted users with screen-readers

Aside: The use of "partially sighted" in this context seems odd to me. After all, totally blind people also use screen readers; indeed, totally blind people rely most completely on screen readers.

So I'm curious about the rationale behind your word choice here. Are you afraid that partially sighted (or in fewer syllables, low vision) people like me would object to the word "blind". I do often clarify that I'm not totally blind. But in some cases (e.g. if I'm explaining to an Uber driver why I can't see them), I just say "I'm blind". And I would in no way feel excluded by "blind users with screen-readers", though as a low-vision user, I sometimes use a screen reader too. Most of all, like anyone, I dislike a multi-syllabic phrase where a short word will do.

Or is it something you never gave much thought, because you picked up the phrase from somewhere else?

To be clear, I'm not offended or anything like that. Just curious, and sharing my perspective as one of the people you were referring to.

Finally, Thanks for raising the accessibility concern in the first place.
