Please do not abbreviate Cerebral Palsy.

• scarface_74 1y ago
  Am I really being chastised for abbreviating something I’ve been dealing with personally for 51 years? Please don’t tell me you are one of the “allies” making sure we engage in “right speak”.

    IMO it's a joke. Like Rossmann refusing to call his wiki the "Consumer Protection Wiki".

    unfortunately the abbreviation is shared with many others https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cp https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cp

      I’m sure in context people know I wasn’t talking about cheese pizza… And the abbreviation is used by Easter Seal - the very organization that helps people with disabilities - including me when I was a child in the 80s. https://cpfamilynetwork.org/resources/resources-guide/easter-seals-florida/ https://cpfamilynetwork.org/resources/resources-guide/easter...

    Yes, because "cp" is code for "child porn".
    • scarface_74 1y ago
      Anyone can understand what CP is in context. Should UCP (https://ucp.org/ https://ucp.org/) change its name? So this is the same performative “allyship” BS that I found disgusting when I worked at BigTech (I am very much a minority, FWIW). https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cp https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cp And Easter Seal - an organization to help the disabled (including me when I was a child), uses the abbreviation “CP” https://cpfamilynetwork.org/resources/resources-guide/easter-seals-florida/ https://cpfamilynetwork.org/resources/resources-guide/easter...

      you are weird, when I see cp the first thing I think of is the copy command.

        Internet brain rot does what it does. Call me weird all you want, but my comment isn't the only one pointing this out, is it?
