Excuse me, Monsieur, I have clients who are mentally handicapped. To call anyone of them retarded is to bring back the days of forcible sterilisation, mass internment in institutions, secret lobotomies, questionable sedation. There is a distinct gap between common courtesy/respect and the pc catch word of the month. Have a pleasant evening.
 

In Australia the correct term is disabled or the person has a disability
I don’t remember without asking Mr Google when the reference to disabled people was changed

You mean the pc gestapo?
I was having a conversation with a woman and I said the poor kid was retarded. She said you mean developmentally challenged! For crying out loud, how do they expect people to keep up with that crap? If somebody is so backward that they used last week's word I'm sure they really meant no harm.
