That actually reminds me of a poster awareness campaign we had over here. Basically they were posters of the word:
dis
abled.
Always reminded me of Homer Simpson's assertion that "you can't spell dishonourable without honourable".
My mum works in a hospital and once referred to a mentally disabled person as a "patient" (well...he was in a
hospital after all, it would seem to stand to reason, no?). After receiving some dirty looks, she was politely informed that they were not patients, they were 'clients'.
