Politically Correct

On a some-what serious note, individuals should strive to use terms that do not carry any negative connotations. Here are a few you might be unaware of:

  • The term Mentally Retarded should be replaced with Intellectually Impaired.
  • Psychiatric Patients are now known Mental Health Care Users.
  • A Schizophrenic no longer exists but is rather termed a Person with Schizophrenia.
  • A Dwarf  should be referred to as Vertically Challenged (OK I'm kidding about this one but I still wont go around calling anyone a dwarf).

That's all.
