    @Leon萧乐 get it! You are so nice!

  • Leon萧乐

    @小黄冲冲冲Ying They used to be acceptable. But now people tend to avoid using them because "disabled people", compared with "abled", suggests that all people with disabilities lack "abled bodies" or the ability to use their bodies well.

  • Leon萧乐

    @CHSX Very much so!

  • 小黄冲冲冲Ying

    Why we can’t use “a disabled person” or “the disabled”? Thanks

  • CHSX

    Does it sound like 残废 in Chinese? If you can understand the meaning of 残废

  • Leon萧乐

    The vocabulary is always changing.

    第一个词语在任何时候都不应该使用！ In that case, how did the word come into being in the first place? The purpose of it existing is not to be used?
