Funny that you mention that Bryan. Here is one for you. How about this code that I witnessed the other day.

I was thinking to myself, someone really failed HTML 101 or did not even take it.

Civilization is crumbling; no one knows HTML any more. I see devs slapping alt attributes on just about anything.

You mean alt on the <a> element? This would not be proper HTML and will do nothing for accessibility.
