Tunicate posted:Down's is a common way of referring to it, since it was discovered by Dr. Down. Just like Alzheimer's It's no longer proper usage in US journalism or medical scholarship (Down Syndrome and Alzheimer Disease are preferred) but I have zero idea if that's the case in the U.K.

When it's names of scientists they don't want the 's now. I think that's a relatively recent change

Samovar posted:I mean - it's called Parkinson's disease, not Parkinson disease. Who on earth thinks Down's syndrome is a disrespectful term? The National Institutes of Health in the US in 1975 apparently. They changed the names of a bunch of things in the paper 'Classification and nomenclature of morphological defects' to remove the possessive apostrophe. Which is presumably by Parkinson's retained it's possessive apostrophe as it's not a morphological defect. Apparently it's stop confusing people who think that John Langdon Down had Down's Syndrome, not that he first described it. Like the guy above said, like Lou Gehring's is possessive because Lou Gehring is the guy who had it. Aramoro has a new favorite as of 14:22 on Jun 4, 2018 |

An “apostrophe s” connotes ownership or possession. quote:While Down syndrome is listed in many dictionaries with both popular spellings (with or without an apostrophe s), the preferred usage in the United States is Down syndrome. The AP Stylebook recommends using “Down syndrome,” as well. quote:Instead of “a Down syndrome child,” it should be “a child with Down syndrome.” Also avoid “Down’s child” and describing the condition as “Down’s,” as in, “He has Down’s.” http://www.dsagc.com/_dsagc/assets/File/2013-Down-Syndrome-Language-Guidelines(6).pdf quote:A baby born with Down syndrome is not a "Down's baby" or a "baby with Downs." He/she is a baby with Down syndrome quote:Words can create barriers and reinforce stereotypes. Therefore, the DSAGC strongly believes in the importance of ensuring that correct language is used. A child is much more than a label. Help to educate others about the preferred way to refer to individuals with Down syndrome. https://dsawm.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/How-Do-I-Talk-About-Down-Syndrome.pdf quote:The correct name of this diagnosis is Down syndrome... not “ Downs” or “ Down’s” . The “s” in syndrome is not capitalized (syndrome). It is named for John Langdon Down, the 19th century physician who first classified the condition. It is also acceptable to refer to Down syndrome as Trisomy 21. This is a technical term used because Down syndrome is caused by the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome. Down syndrome is the most commonly used name. http://www.nads.org/about-us/history-of-nads/ quote:Therefore in 1972 when a decision to remove what became known as the “M” word from our name and materials, the organization changed its name to National Association for Down’s Syndrome. (The apostrophe s in Down’s was officially dropped in the early 1980’s.) Don't worry, your cousins across the pond will be here and ready to accept you when you grow up.

Well, I do agree that referring to a person with Down/Down's sydrome/Trisomy 21 as 'a Down's child' is pretty unpleasant. But it does seem a bit odd; especially with the example I gave earlier re. Parkinson's disease - i.e. James Parkinson was the first to classify it, not the first recorded case of it. In fact, why would it particularly matter one way or the other if people thought it was named after the first sufferer of the disease/syndrome/disorder as opposed to who discovered it?

Sorry your Yankie doctors appear to be too stupid to not be confused by the fact that John Langon Down didn't have Down's Syndrome I guess. The nomenclature for Parkinson's also doesn't officially have the possessive apostrophe, as with Alzheimer's and Asperger's in the US.

It's fine to want to define a way to spell it, but why would you actually care enough to point out the "wrong" usage? Especially if it's just one organization that disagrees with the apostrophe rule? Hell, why would you give enough of a gently caress to look at a BBC article and go "wow they used the apostrophe how classy and tasteful"? There's no difference in tone whatsoever

Dachshundofdoom posted:Please show us on the doll where the spostrophe didn't not touch you. I bought it dinner, and carried its printer. It owed me. I'd like to point out that I said "Down's," once, then someone else had a mini-meltdown, and then I copy/pasted a few paragraphs from advocacy groups. I care about the apostrophe, because I have a personal connection to Down Syndrome advocacy, but I cared just exactly enough to point out that it sounded kind of lovely. The source of any drama after I posted one word under a picture is not me.

Look, my sister has Down Syndrome, and while I deeply appreciate the work you do as an advocate, nobody cares about the drat apostrophe. Obviously it has significance scientifically and I'm all in favor of making the implications of nomenclature clear, but to your average person it is entirely irrelevant whether it's Down, Downs, or Down's. The same meaning is communicated either way. Please devote your energies to actually relevant issues like employment opportunities and health care for people with Down Syndrome instead of slapfighting over poo poo like apostrophes and disabled/differently abled/impaired/whatever the word of the week is. And pretending you didn't start this with snippy poo poo like "Guess they're just out of touch, like you" and "Don't worry, your cousins across the pond will be here and ready to accept you when you grow up" is just loving disingenuous. Some random idiot making fun of you is no excuse for perpetuating this dumbass derail with deliberately inflammatory remarks.
