Re: [orca-list] Your opinion on radio button and check box presentation?

[Storm Dragon <stormdragon2976 gmail com>]

Hi,
I would like it to be element name followed by state, radiobutton checked/unchecked. I think both checkbox 
and radiobuttons should report as checked/unchecked. Selected seems like it would have more to do with text 
and cut/paste. Also, checked and unchecked have fewer sylables than selected and unselected so would take 
slightly less time to read thereby increasing speed at which information is delivered to the user.
Lol... maybe I'm being too technical?
Thanks
Storm
