Screen reader spelling conventions

for

I've become interested in ensuring that certain spellings are accessible to
screen reader users, so far I have changed a few conventions and wondered
what others thought and possibly suggestions of other words that I might
not yet have thought of (I expect there could be a few, given that I am only
suggesting two here).



"Sitemap" in favour for "Site map"

"Email" in favour for "E-mail"



And in any such cases, if search engine queries were in favour of the least
favoured spelling, how would that affect keywords (being that they're
sensitive).











Regards,



Steven
