i agree and is a very neutral term for a wide range of disabilities. now cripple would have some negative connotations to it.
though i suppose context and use of any term could be used to degrade especially something like this which does point to capabilities but because of a condition and specific to the disability.
- VBprogrammer 7y ago> "Handicapped" is a word which many disabled people consider to be the equivalent of nigger. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3708576.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3708576.stm I wouldn't describe it as neutral at all.
- reshie 7y agoi would not put it in that category but i did address how it could be construed. how would you describe the term handicap in the form of a lack in capability specific to the disability?
