<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">When you're viewing a website page or email, you typically don't see this bit of text</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> as it is built into the HTML code
in the backend of a web page, but it serves several important purposes:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">1. Accessibility.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> First and foremost, these text descriptions help visually impaired users that are using screen readers

<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO).</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> A search engine (like Google) will use the text in ALT tags to understand the content
of images. This can improve search engine rankings for that website page.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">3. Image Failure to Load.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> And as mentioned earlier, sometimes when you're viewing a website page, an image may fail
to display due to an error (such as a broken link). In this case, the ALT text will be visible in its place, providing readers with the image description.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">So the ALT Tag,</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> in describing the image,
<b>helps <i>both </i>the website users and search engines </b>understand what the image represents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">TIP: </span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Don't confuse a
<i>Caption</i> with ALT Text. A picture Caption is meant to be <i>visible </i>to all readers on the page to give more context to how the image relates to the text around it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Communication: Grammar</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Do you want to avoid "all of"?</span></i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">OK, grammar is often a matter of preference</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">, rather than right or wrong, informal or formal. Today's idea falls into
that bucket of personal taste, and in this case, a difference in language culture.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">A true story:
</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Once, having been smitten by the love bug with a Canadian gentleman, we had plenty of time to talk and discuss all things in life. It was natural to notice when he or I did something that
was peculiar to our country's heritage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Apparently, my use of the term "all of" was particularly American.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> He believed that adding the word "of" was grammatically
incorrect. So I might say, <i>"All of the books I wanted had been checked out."</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">His contention was that it should be,
<i>"All the books I wanted..."</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">That made me pay attention to the phrase</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">. Adding the word "of" is really unnecessary and leaving it out, crisps up the
sentence. So I thought I'd write about the choice in this article.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Of course, I looked up the correct phrase on the Internet</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">, and found that either way (<i>all of
</i>or <i>all</i>) were right. Amusingly, some said "all of" was more informal, while others said the exact opposite. (Of course, I bet the authors of all these statements were seeing these terms through American eyes. :-)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Which is right?
</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Apparently both ... depending on where you live.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
