Ken, your research and writings on these issues have definitely influenced how I think about language and terminology. You write, “…simply using person-first language--and thereby assuming one is being maximally sensitive--is simplistic and potentially could have the opposite effect.” I could not agree more. In fact, I am sure I will be quoting this powerful statement of yours in the future. Peter
