I came across the information that 'brainstorming' is now seen as offensive
through the "Making Reasonable Adjustments for Disabled Students in Higher
Education" publication by Herrington and Simpson, Nottingham Uni, page 67.
Apparently, 'disabled toilet' isn't going to be ok soon either. You live
and learn...
