Things - allergy #83

Link: https://wai-media-guide.netlify.com/design-develop/media/#how-to-make-audio-and-video-accessible Sentence: "When you are creating new audio or video, there are several things to consider such as background noise and avoiding flashing that can cause seizures. These are explained in Audio and Video Content." Suggestion: can we replace the word "things" with "elements" or "aspects" or anything else? I don't feel terribly strongly about it but I am a little allergic to the word "things".

he, he. I appreciate the mild allergy to "things". I think here "elements" or "aspects" don't work.

-- which I think is much stronger!
