I love this. What you've said is a very valid and good point. I think for me as a beginner in learning how game developing works, I've always just been used to the playing games side, and I don't know much of the computer developing jargon for the game devs. One of my biggest challenges is learning how to explain to a game dev why I can't play their game, or use their iPhone app, and explaining how they can change things to make it more accessible. Often times I find that game/app developers are willing to lend me an ear and learn how to make things accessible, but I don't know how to best explain to them the steps they need to take in gaming terms. I hope that as I continue to learn how all the gaming stuff works and the game/app terminology, that I will be better at this. Laurel and Stockard
