Hi,
I have to say, that was a very good post that you wrote I happen to agree
with you. I couldn't put it better myself. In this post, you said it all I
think.
It doesn't embarrass me to use the word blind, because that's exactly what
I am! Visually impaired is just the correct terminology to use when writing
a report I think. One should not be ashamed of the word Blind.
When I have been for job interviews and I have stated that I was visually
impaired people immediately seem to think that I have some vision, I find
this annoying really.
