I love it. It is posts as are yours that remind me so much of my dear late husband. He had partial sight. Or you might say he was "visually Impaired". He didn't mind at all the label blind as it applied to him. He associated with us totally blind folk, and as most of his friends were totally blind, I believe he preferred our company. He would probably say, "I am blind" period dot". His speech was full of colorful phrases he created himself such as "period dot". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Beasley" <pjbeasley23@xxxxxxxxx>

But many of us don't. We are blind. With no sight to impair. So, why shouldn't we be proud to use the word which most aptly describes us. If we were all called visually impaired, that would imply we all had vision to impair. It would also further stigmatize the word "blind". Which should be nothing about which to feel shame. If that is what you are. If that word is used to describe various applications or other things, it might mean we all could use them. Not just those who only require some sort of screen magnification to use them satisfactorily. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Saqib Hussain" <saqibh23@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2012 5:37 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: join my group blind ms officeHi. What is it with this blind word. Personally I find it annoying along with a few others. Even Pacific apps for VI people are being called blind so and so. It's embarrassing to say the least.
