"Language" is part of the title, no? If you going to say "it is off-topic and don't talk about it," I would have to say that 'that is just another form of censorship' and "censorship" is the control of "language" and isn't that what the topic of this thread is about?
Understandable, people with myopia and hypermetropia aren't a protected class under the law. I am not speaking from a legal point of view. I hope you are not saying people with eye problems are fair game because they are not protected under the law. You talk about "morally," so shouldn't you be concerned with the philosophical principles of right and wrong and be able to do that without looking to the law to provide you with morals and ethics?

I was going overboard in my explanation of why your contribution was meaningless and hyper-sensitive. So you wear glasses. So you were teased. I knew neither of those things, obviously was not contributing to your persecution complex, and this thread is officially derailed.
OK, everyone, no one say lame, cancerous, insane, depressing, or angry, because they all have
specific medical meanings and you're contributing to illness-shaming.
I really hope I'm just getting trolled. Nearsighted and Farsighted are not positives. You're not going to spin that.

So you understand that language can be molded to represent new or more complex ideas...
