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,.

    I started reading a discussion about the use of appropriate language and read a saying that I heard a guy say that resulted in him being laid out flat on the floor with a single punch.


    I don’t want it to be considered that I’m doing anything other than pointing out that you need to choose your words carefully so that your intentions are not misunderstood.
