Real, professional example from the automotive world: 'the knock sensor can retard the ignition timing'
Is that still okay to say?
- allturtles 4y agoI'm assuming both you and the GP know that the 'retard' that's clearly offensive is the noun 'retard' referring to a person.
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoWhich is the whole point. The offense is the context, not the word itself.
- slothtrop 4y agoThe explicit purpose of a list like this is to suggest that no, it isn't, for any context. That is the banality of it.
