@gargron The way the options are phrased leads me to conclude that I have no idea what is the best option.

@Gargron
I agree that it should be a brief reminder that doesn't take a ton of screen real estate and maybe is permanently dismissable with a little icon:ℹ️ ᴰⁱʳᵉᶜᵗ ᵐᵉˢˢᵃᵍᵉˢ ᵐᵃʸ ᵇᵉ ʳᵉᵃᵈᵃᵇˡᵉ ᵇʸ ⁱⁿˢᵗᵃⁿᶜᵉ ᵃᵈᵐⁱⁿⁱˢᵗʳᵃᵗᵒʳˢ [ᵐᵒʳᵉ ⁱⁿᶠᵒ] [ˣ]
A more thorough explanation can be found at the "more info" link.
I'd be careful about wording. "may be readable" is a bit of a soft sell but I chose that on purpose, other wordings I thought of make it sound like common practice.
