Accessibility and default text

Via [community profile] access_fandom I came across the post suggestion for style documentation which alerted me to the fact that not only does a change like "make a comment" to "leave a footprint" cause people issues (especially if they're feeling brain-foggy), but even easy-to-interpret changes like "Comment here!" mess up screen navigation macros for people using certain types of readers.

So, though it pained me I have reset all of mine to the default. I may change some of them back if I feel heavily inspired to, but a lot of the changes were kind of arbitrary and silly.

(Yes, such people can always use style=mine but this way they have a chance to see the little chickens on my lj!)
