1. I've just come across a website that I had to check with #Aira, because there was an inaccessible #captcha on it.
2. Bypassing the captcha by clicking 'next' *looks* like it would be valid and you can fill out content on future pages, but when you get to the end, you're told to: 'Correct the errors highlighted.'
Not much help to a #ScreenReader user.
3. Terms and conditions are on-click, not bogstandard checkboxes, so you're not always sure whether it's checked or not checked.
4. The country select was not a standard combo/list box, but a weird spin control that didn't at all play nicely.

It's one of those days and it isn't even Thursday...

There is no excuse for those bits of text that act like check boxes. Make it what it is, a bloody check box. Surely it's less effort in the HTML or java script to do that. Every time I have to hand something in on moodle, I have to do this with the turnitin box because oh no, it was too much effort to make it a check box like the moodle one is.

@destructatron There's some weirdness going on with checkboxes and CSS, multiple sighted frontend people have told me how ugly they look and how hard they are to style. There are very few screen reader users and a lot of sighted users. Most companies would rather have no blind customers than have a super ugly UI.
