This word bothers me. People use it so lightly. I'm sick and tired, of hearing it , in a negative manner. Our brains are not the same and so are the brains of people with down syndrom, autistic,alcholics,add and others. so the word, stupid,retarded,are a huge , no no. I want this word to be stopped, and for people to stop laughing at us. U dont laugh at autistic people, so stop laughing at us. Were hurting from this word. thanks u. I have a different mind, then u.

Like everything else made by man...some were not so well thought out...

This is one..never been a big fan of this word...there are so many others that are better suited...

But,,Webster doesn't listen to me...so the best I can do is be an example and not use the word..

I don't.

Be well Carla....
