 ### Why is this important?
 
-The label of an HTML element with an `accesskey` attribute allows the user agent to display a list of access keys with a name describing each access key’s function. It also allows voice control users to speak the label to activate its function.

 ### What to do
 
- * Provide a label using a `title` attribute (e.g. `<a title="Activities" accesskey="A" href="/Consortium/activities">Activities</a>`);
- * **Or**, use `<label for="">` or `aria-labelledby` to designate visible text as the label;
- * **Or**, use an input embedded in a `<label>` (e.g. `<label><input type="checkbox" accesskey="A"/>foo</label>`);
- * **Or**, if the element does not have a visible label, provide a label using the `aria-label` attribute (e.g. `aria-label="Activities"`).
+Provide an accessible name for the element with the `accesskey` attribute using one of the following examples:
+ * `title` attribute (e.g., `<p title="Activity" accesskey="A" href="/Consortium/activity">Activity: This is a paragraph that users need to jump to.</a>`)
+ * `<label for="an id">` or `aria-labelledby` to designate visible text as the label
+ * `<input>` embedded in a `<label>` (e.g., `<label><input type="checkbox" accesskey="A"/>Activity</label>`)
+ * `aria-label` attribute if the element does not have a visible label (e.g., `aria-label="Activity"`)
