The people and organizations dealing with, or representing, children/adults with learning disabilities, resent them being called retarded. Fine, I'm down with that.
BUT, banishing the valid English word retarded, in all it's other contexts, is not. Retarded in the opposite of advanced. Quick, learning disability the spark before the engine stalls! I don't think so. Saying your idea/suggestion is retarded means not advanced, moving in the retarded (backward) direction.
