hi,STRANGELY STRANGE
thank you.As I describe in my "about me",I'm driven by a desire to learn. Nothing can stop me except myself. So myself is the real and only enemy I have.
But I am also afraid of upseting anyone. For example, from the Chirs's words, I doult if I made him angry.If so, it let me even feel guilty. So sometimes feel rather frustrated.

To me it's not an important issue, SS. 'Disabled people' and 'people with a disability' pretty much sounds the same to me.
Possibly a bit unfair to impose native linguistic nuances on someone who is doing a hell of a good job speaking here even though English is not their first language.

az, I think "impose" is a bit unfair, I was helping with language in a way that was asked. "People with disablities" is I believe a term that was originally thought of by people with disabilities themselves, for want of a better term.
