 > "For users of assistive technologies, the title attribute is useless at
 best and sometimes an annoyance. Users of text-to-speech software who have
 configured their software to do so will hear the title attribute twice.
 Essentially the extensive use of title attributes throughout Wordpress
 Core amounts to unnecessary code bloat." ~ Karl Groves
