By Wondering about that other Yankee? The one last seen wondering where his grill done got to?
Yup. He’s still functionally illiterate.
For TIDOS’ sake, I’ll clarify:
When a newspaper refers to someone as “mentally retarded,” they’re using a term that remains a valid classification. It survived into the DSM-IV and is still used quite extensively in the legal system, even though it is no longer universally employed by mental health professionals. No matter what mild pejorative tones the term might carry, it’s not the equivalent of referring to someone as a “retard.”
OK then.
