Re: Brainstorming

Well, it doesn't bother me personally, but I was always told at school that we weren't allowed to use it, so I was curious to know if that was because it actually is offensive, or just overly-PC-paranoia (which is entirely possible). Maybe I'll go ask in [site community profile] dw_accessibility or somewhere.

Edit: A quick Google tells me that various National Socities of Epileptics don't mind the term; it's mainly paranoia among diversity advisors. Thanks for driving me to look it up rather than just relying on the myth!
