Correct language

I was taking a group of building service engineers through the 18th. We were discussing the use of Appendix 5. One chap was very exercised about the BA3 category which is described as utilization-capability-handicapped. He claims the latter word was exorcised from common parlance years ago and would be offensive to many. I am not that politically correct but maybe he has a valid argument,.

    Words acceptable now will become unacceptable because of their use by prejudiced people - or should I say people of prejudice?


    It is the demonisation of words rather than the people who use them.
