my wife works in the Speak & Language Unit which actually means developmentally delayed, autistic, learning disabled and other assorted non PC words.
OK, I admit I'm a bit old and I'm not very PC with my words. Only this morning while out we saw a young boy who spoke to my wife and after he'd gone I asked if he was one of her 'backwards kids'. She replied "No, speak & language".
Give me a break, its about time we got back to calling a spade a spade.
