Same thing for Android.

A lot of browsers (unfortunately) make it difficult for users to find alt text.  On desktop: hovering your mouse over the image should work.  I guess it varies on mobile.

I did not know the 'title' attribute existed, nor that it seems to override the purpose of 'alt' when you hover over an image in desktop FF.  For example my flag (to the left of this post) may be either au or Australia or both (or neither!) depending on your browser.

First of all, when I see an English speaking country, I can safely take the author's production as the gold standard of English. Conversely, for certain other countries, some caution, mixed with leniency, is called for.

Gold standard of English is hard to define. There's British English, American English, Australian English, New Zealand English, and various other native Englishes, all of which are not quite the same and have many local usages and turns of phrase. And then there's ESL English, which is actually the most international version. Meaning two ESL speakers often communicate better in English than two native English speakers from different countries. Which I find quite amusing, even though I understand why.
