    Someday saying “intellectually disabled” will draw horrified gasps from people who will berate you for not using “cerebrally unenfranchised”

      I mean there’s already a school of thought that “disabled” has a negative connotation to it, that’s where the term “differently-abled” comes in.

      It’s all kind of a dance to not hurt anyone’s feelings.
