I was embarrassed at first but maybe it’s better they know that it’s okay not to know the answer.
Ya know?

One of the easiest ways to make your content more accessible is by putting your compound hashtags in #CamelCase. You may also see or hear this called #PascalCase or #TitleCase.
Capitalize the first letter in each word of your hashtags so screen readers say them correctly. #GAAD
