So, as we all know, text in all caps is always at least a mild accessibility issue

It's simply less readable for everybody, and especially for people who have special difficulty in distinguishing between very similar letter shapes.

But I've also been told that it's a big problem for people who rely on screenreaders, which I've dutifully told other people. Googling would seem to confirm this but - is that really true? I mean, it seems strange to me, and even if it was true that doesn't mean it's still true...?

(On a related note, I've found "Please don't do this, it's an accessibility issue" gets worse responses than "This is an accessibility issue, please don't do it". Can somebody explain this? I do not understand this. Why is this? Why are people like this? Why are people so weird? Why?)
