Dear accessibility experts,

What advice do you have on citations with URLs? Most style guides say to write them out (as in the attached photo), but the accessibility plug-in on our website is throwing an error, and I can see how the URLs would be annoying to people who use screen readers.

I’d love to hear how others handle it!

@grammargirl Maybe they're older, print-focused style guides? In print URL needs to be there in full since otherwise readers wouldn't be able to access the page being cited easily
