I've seen many commentators defending it's use with lame excuses about how it's not meant as an insult to people with special needs or it's just the evolution of the English language. I don't think most of these people actually put a face to the word and who they're hurting by using it. Thanks to you and your lovely daughter you were able to do just that!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632541487016020760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913521903629178880.post-3033038199603207552010-02-20T00:23:59.449-05:002010-02-20T00:23:59.449-05:00Thanks for sharing!

As someone who has on (very rare) occasion slipped and used this term--to his immediate disgust and disappointment--I admire your approach of gentle correction and education rather than haranguing. Popular slang and unthinking epithets can be difficult to unlearn, or at least "unpractice," even for the most sensitive people. And...congrats on the free fries. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619090150518494974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913521903629178880.post-13349658568001676532010-02-19T01:49:51.275-05:002010-02-19T01:49:51.275-05:00Wow that's so encouraging and quite sweet actu...Wow that's so encouraging and quite sweet actually.
