So you're opposed to university text book terminology like mental retardation?
Having got my degree in psychology and having worked with people who are mentally retarded, the term "special needs" really annoys me.
no, i am not opposed to the text book terminology at all.
i just don't like how the word's meaning and usage has evolved. even the jehovah witnesses i work with say it. i can't explain why it bothers me so, but it does. and it's not because i am PC either.
well i don't like the use of:
"it is what it is"
"woot"
when a record "drops"
"word"
"you know what i'm saying"
"this"
"QFE"
let's ban all those too

Wasn't Dilla. SGB is an old school poster. We used to be pretty good "friends". But for those that saw the posts I deleted, you now know how these boards get if they're not moderated at all.

i don't know why you are looking at an exception as if it's the rule though.
We could make a list right now of the 2-3 people who will post weird stupid shit all the time.
Oh surprise surprise, the person who goes over the lines all the time went over the line, clearly that means everyone will.
