Disabled 'to sue for Tube access'
only thoes users who are truly wheelchair-bound who need special
provision. Clive's phrase is the more accurate one in this context. snip IMO, the intention's the main thing. Attitude is the issue and I agree that the intention is the most important thing. However, 'wheelchair-bound' makes me wince (as it does most wheelchair users) because people are not bound to their chairs - we sleep in a bed, shower in a shower/bath and so on. Take your cue from the disabled person - use the language they do! Political correctness is a nightmare! The only attitude which I can't abide is the one which goes through well known texts with a red pen - take for instance the line in the Xmas carol It Came Upon A Midnight Clear "Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men" - and deems that some group may take offence at it due to an utterly spurious interpretation a 7-year old could see was incorrect. |
