 ## Description
 Hi! While testing the new learn.wordpress.org site, I ran the site through
 an A11y checker and the test has flagged 3 ARIA issues with the WordPress
 admin bar.

 All three errors are:
 `ARIA role should be appropriate for the element`
 `Ensures role attribute has an appropriate value for the element`

 The errors are being flagged for the following three links in the admin
 bar:
 - Search
 - My Account
 - Language Switcher
