Since there's been trouble on this blog with the 'R' word in the past, I thought I would post this Colbert interview with the CEO of the Special Olympics. It's worth watching just for Colbert's PSA at the end.
Diffability? Not even a word. I checked. So basically, an inoffensive word is actually a made up word. Because words that don't actually exist can't possiby offend anyone. Unfortunately, words are added to the dictionary once they officially become a part of the American vernacular so diffability will be offensive in about 20 years. Then we can go back to the hipster recycling of the word "retarded".
