Upper Case Character Test

This is a test to determine how screen readers handle words or phrases in all upper case. The first five items are menu items on a university home page. As for the remaining items, if English-speaking humans prounounce them, Items 6 - 8 are typically spelled out. Items 9 and 10 are typically pronounced as words, and the final two items people don't agree on.

This test was created based on a question I was asked about the first five items - essentially, does upper case pose an accessibility problem? Everything else is mostly here to satisfy my curiosity.

Note: This isn't a test of the <abbr> and <acronym> elements - I have a separate test page for that.
