Terms considered proper for a group or phenomenon seem to change every generation or so. The termcrippled, for example, sounds abusive today, 36 it was once considered civil by educated, sensitive people. Crippled began as a(n) 37 term. However, a sad reality of human society is that there are negative associations and even dismissal harbored 38 those with disabilities. Crippled thus became accreted with those overtones to the point that handicapped was fashioned as a replacement term 39 from such baggage. Similarly, because humans stayed human, handicapped, later 40 shades of abuse, also conditioned another replacement like disabled. Such a(n) periodic semantic renewal is an inevitable and healthy process. 36
