It's fun watching the word that used to be the right word become the wrong word. I hope I live long enough to see it happen over and over. Language is amazing.

So will all the other words people come up with as a better word. Every clinical work for a disability will eventually become an insult. Changing the word doesn't change the problem. Moron, idiot and cretin all used to be clinical terms. I'm quite willing to stop using any word that pisses someone off, but don't think getting rid of the "R word" will solve the fundamental problem that people outside the "norm" get treated poorly.

It will just become a standard insult, just like dumb. I don't think anyone uses it to refer to mute people.

Bastard used to be an unthinkable insult, now people throw ir around all the time. The R word will get there, it's just the nature of language.
