To all
This is what I like to look at. I've find that most words
here come through cultural shift and logic.
Handicap was/is used but is considered not PC by some, also
it changes meaning from context to context e.g Golf course
therefore it is not adequate.
Another shft in opinion. Ther term Disabled, not very nice
but consideted better than above by most. Simply a
negation of the term abled. The use of negation
introduction applied, to assume the opposite to the word
abled.
But that makes it sound like a disabled person cannot
"work" (please excuse phrase to disable means to turn off,
make a system not function) at all, so that is inaccurate.
Disability is used. a disablement in the singular, uses
negation introduction but implies that not all is negated,
we still 'work' a little.
