Thanks Kelly and Greg. i understand it better now but the paragraph
does make it sound like there is a current, egregious happening of this
and apparently there isn't, or someone would have talked about it. it
was confusing to me, mainly, for that reason. i'm gonna copy the
paragraph again, just for the reference of it.

from here: http://webaim.org/articles/pour/robust. 2nd paragraph, the
end of paragraph

<copy>
One of the most noticeable exceptions to this general trend is found
in web sites owned by companies which develop their own browsers.
They think that they can persuade people to use their company's
browser if they create lesser versions of web content for all other
brands of browsers. While this may be an effective marketing
technique, it is not a good accessibility technique.</copy>

The inability to pronounce a chemical ingredient is not an argument
against it.
