A Gemini-style proposal

[Devin Prater]

Sure, if you want screen reader users to have to hear "lattin bold capital
letter a lattin bold letter d latin bold letter o latin bold letter n latin
bold letter a latin bold letter l latin bold letter s latin bold letter i
latin bold letter u latin bold letter m." I mean I knew this would start
happening because people don't like constraints on expression of text. And
now I guess it starts.
