If you have the word first in a document, a screen reader only sees rst. You also see this if you try to copy/paste the word first from a pdf to a text file.

This seems to be unique to acmart, as all of the other document classes I've tried seem to properly have the text first.

I emailed you the source code and generated pdf. It seems to happen both on the latest stable version, as well as HEAD. (I am using pdflatex to generate). The code is:

\documentclass{acmart}

\title{Hello}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
first
\end{document}
