Does WCAG mean anything to anyone?
Here at this new work they want their (web) app to be "WCAG compliant" which is another word for being accessible.
Thing is, I never heard of WCAG before!
A friend there told me "everybody uses it"
Well, checking, does everybody do?!!
[NOTE] To be clear my question is about vocabulary!
Does "WCAG" means something to you? Does "accessibility"? Which one speaks more to you?

If it's "We Complain And Gripe", I think it's pretty universal, otherwise, no, never heard of it.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

What, Code? All Goto!
No, I don't use it.
(Probably should though: but hasn't been a priority for me)

Oh, so that's what it means?!
I meant, what would be the more meaningful expression to you?
WCAG? or accessible?!

Well, when I woke up this morning, I knew what "accessible" meant. "WCAG" I'd never heard of.
Which am I more likely to use? "Accessible" unless there is a specific reason for using "WCAG" - like I felt the need to impress someone with my knowledge of acronyms. Which generally make people actually think "The muppet - why won't he talk English?"

Everybody probably uses it to some degree without realising it.
The standards are set and companies like Apple / MS / Google etc. then build the OS and websites to meet these standards and set the guidelines. Naming Conventions / Colour standards / Layout etc / General UX
Everybody then builds their own applications and websites that tend to follow current trends and align with the look and feel of the majors. The development tools also ensure compliance to some extent.
The result is that you unknowingly comply to some extent (ok, probably no where close to 100%) with the WCAG without even realising it.

To be clear my question is not whether I used it without knowing, it's about vocabulary!

Ok, well yes Accessibility mean ssomething to me as It formed an element of my degree a couple of years ago as part of the Fundamental of Interaction Design (M364[^]) module.

Double You is the most awful letter to pronounce in English. It sounds like its two letters, Double and You. It also looks more like a Double Vee. The person who invented Double You was clearly drunk (and probably seeing double).
I'd never use an acronym having the letter Double You in it. I hadn't heard of it before either (or maybe I had, but I banned it from memory because of the Double You).
In Dutch it sounds more like Wee

So true! Double El is the only valid letter! 
|
|
|
|

I had absolutely no idea what it meant.
What's wrong with the word "accessible"? 
I pity you.
|
|
|
|
|
Haha! You understand me so well!!

If you create a website in VS and open the property pages you have a tab called "Accessibility".
In this tab you have a check box for "WCAG".
What this means to me, is that if I mess up my html according to whatever standard "WCAG" is,I get a warning.

Ho, interesting!
There is no such setting in "ASP .NET Web Application" project type...

Interesting indeed, I willl have to have a look at that when I come home tonight.
