We discussed this yesterday, but just to have it here in the repo, keep in mind casing when you are putting text on your page as some screen readers will interpret all caps words as acronyms. For example, if in your nav bar you capitalize "HOME", "ABOUT", etc, these can be read by some screen readers as H.O.M.E, and so on.
Here's a link to more info about screen reader behavior from webaim: https://webaim.org/techniques/fonts/#variations
