I don’t wanna be offended on others’ behalf but in trying to find justifications for and against I came across the Special Olympics - can you guess where they fall on the issue :D

AHAH is this really the user I counseled regarding ~~inclusive language~~ relatively kinder possible language?!

(Strikethrough phrase felt too uptight even for me)

I still want a hat like that, an airline captain's tricorn. Reminds me of this song.
