Try to read today's Featured Article in a text-to-speech program. The markup is so mangled it can't even read a complete sentence because it breaks anytime the text links out.

JAWS didn't have any issues for me, which reader are you using?

NVDA - aka the "2nd choice" - but I think it may have been a configuration issue on my end as the markup on the page, after looking into why NVDA was struggling with it, is just a <p> with some <a> in it which NVDA should handle fine.

NVDA can be difficult to configure, for sure. I couldn't get it to play nicely with Sublime, probably my fault. Reason I shelled out for JAWS.
