Use of Language

This page documents oddities with RPT and language. So far I have located one.

Use of prepositions and nouns specifying location

RPT has a curious foible of tagging Manual Checks on the use of prepositions in the text of a web page. These are filed as checkpoint 1.3g Ensure instructions for using page content do not solely rely on sensory characteristics.

Triggers

The key part of this guideline for this flag is the use of the word "spatial location". Since prepositions are all about describing spatial location, some are flagged, including:

• above
• below
• beside

This also applies to two of what I'll call nouns of location:

• bottom
• top

Non-triggers

Most prepositions and 'location' nouns do not seem to trigger this check, including:

• across
• after
• against
• along
• among
• around
• at
• before
• behind
• beneath
• between
• beyond
• by
• down
• during
• from
• in
• into
• middle
• near
• off
• outside
• over
• past
• side
• through
• throughout
• under
• underneath
• until
• up
• upon
• within
