In #SwiftUI you can explicitly tell VoiceOver how to pronounce something...
Except this just straight up doesn't work. Is this broken?

When you show an error but...
you truncate it so that the user can't read the whole error
and you don't provide a way to expand...
It's like a middle finger to the user.

You're absolutely right. All these people should stop normalization. We should make the nazi salute illegal. In fact, that's not enough.
We should make arms illegal. Can't do a nazi salute if you have no arms.
