Unfortunately, I cannot read anything. When I say light and dark, I
really
mean nothing but light or dark. I can only see the harvest moon.
Sometimes I
can see the signal lights as they turn green, but this is late at night.
I
have a screen reader that is called JAWS, which is an acronym for "Job
Access with Speech." It has several languages, one of which is High
German/standard German. When I see Scots or Linburgisch, I have to spell
it
out using a "spell" command. Otherwise, it is gibberish. I am an avid
Internet user, although I do not allow it to become a drug. Jesus Christ
is
my drug, but I digress. I have British English, but as you know, that
doesna
help wi the scots leid.
