Fuck you and your entitlement to the English language.

Guess what? When you use the word "retarded" in a fic title when a character isn't ACTUALLY FUCKING RETARDED?

YOU MIGHT BE A JACKASS.

JUST SAYIN'.

Any use of that word that lessens it's ACTUAL MEDICAL FUCKING DEFINITION is derogatory. I don't give a shit about it's synonyms. If you are using it's synonyms as a reason to use THAT WORD then, guess what? YOU CAN USE THE FUCKING SYNONYMS IN YOUR FIC &/OR TITLE.

IT'S REALLY EASY. WATCH:

Repressed

SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS? AAAAMAAAAAZING.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT ALL.

Don't fuck with me after I've been battling Walmart on a Saturday afternoon. LOL

LOL OH, OLD WHO DALEKS. ♥

Thanks. :) Really. It's nice to know others feel the same way I do about this. I always get nervous speaking up publicly about this stuff because I'm worried I'll step in my own pile of fail. Something that obviously didn't concern the person in question.

I'm always terrified about arguing on the internet, in this instance I'm glad you stepped up. The whole exchange was rather amazing. It needed to be said but I'm not sure it really sunk in.

Thanks. I hope it did, but I doubt it, judging by the woe-is-me post she put up shortly afterward, I doubt it... (It's since been taken down, I wish I'd thought to screencap it)

I am still reeling in shock about the appalling tackiness of taking this to her own LJ after you discussed your own son in your response. OBVIOUSLY THE PERSON WITH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF THE ISSUES IS IN THE WRONG AND MUST BE CORRECTED.

Truthfully, that sparked just as much anger in me as her initial asshattery. It was comparable to one of those "I'm sorry you were offended" apologies... without the appearance of an apology.

WELL HOW DARE YOU QUESTION SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS WORDS BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE POPULATION?

OMG YOUR ICON. I CAN'T EVEN. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

DON'T BE GLIB. HAVE YOU STUDIED THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE?

So you're saying we're interrogating the text from the wrong perspective?
