 Blind has morphed into Sightless then into Visually impaired and

Hi all,

of course I agree that noone should be thoughtlessly hurtful regarding 
another persons `differences` but the comment above just made me annoyed.

If a person cannot see then in my book they are BLIND.  Visually impaired 
may be a more accurate description of someone who does not have complete 
loss of sight, cataract, glaucoma etc. Thats fine, but Blind is Blind and to 
pretend it is `visual impairment is pure nonsense.

Its like being `a little bit pregnant`

Cheers

Pat
